Each year, Net Impact Central publishes "Business as UNusual," a guide to graduate programs for students interested in sustainability. To be included in the guide, each school must produce at least 20 responses to the survey at the link below.

The survey is open to any MBA Iowa student (whether or not you're a member of Net Impact) and takes about 3-5 minutes to complete. http://bit.ly/BAU14-FBLI
