Why Choose an SMBA Over a Traditional MBA?
Unity’s Sustainable Master of Business Administration isn’t a retrofit MBA. Built specifically for today’s climate, economic and social challenges, our SMBA prepares leaders to shape the future of sustainable business. Traditional MBAs focus on corporate theory and broad business principles. Our SMBA delivers real-world application in climate-ready industries, 100% online flexibility, and career-aligned curriculum for the green (and blue) economy and emerging industries. This is not business as usual. This is business education built for change.
