Presidio School of Management, an innovative business school offering MBA and Executive Programs in Sustainable Management, is seeking adjunct faculty to join our fast-growing institution.
The educational philosophy of the Presidio is to enable students to engage in the world of sustainability as managers, leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals in business, nonprofit, and government organizations. All aspects of teaching and curriculum design are based on three tenets; Active Experience; Systems Thinking and Integration.
With an emphasis on active learning and seeing interconnections, the Presidio curriculum infuses sustainability into each course. Throughout the MBA program students have the opportunity to implement and test ideas through integrated projects culminating in the Integrative Capstone course in the final semester. The Capstone project draws on all their studies, engages the marketplace through the creation of a business plan, and demonstrates mastery of the Program’s Core Competencies.
