UVM MBA

Can you provide me the details of the Sustainable Entrepreneurship MBA (SEMBA) Program as offered by Grossman School of Business - University of Vermont?

University of Vermont’s one-year Sustainable Entrepreneurship MBA (SEMBA) was designed from the ground up to challenge the traditional MBA.

Admissions preference is given to applicants who have 3 or more years of work experience in for-profit, non-profit, and/or government positions, and one with international and managerial experience are especially encouraged.

One has scored higher than 500 on the GMAT, and those scoring higher than 550 are preferred (we also accept GRE scores in lieu of GMAT scores).

The ideal applicants must have earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale in the undergraduate program, and possess a command of the English language. Application requirements also include letters of reference.

It also seeks students who are passionate about sustainable entrepreneurship and excited to use the power of business to create mutual value for owners and the local and global communities in which operate.
