Sharing Information on Progress (2009)
Achievements Curriculum Integration in the Field of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
In 2008, the La Trobe Graduate School of Management (GSM) launched Australia's first Graduate Certificate in Corporate Responsibility. The program will be expanded to a full Master of Corporate Responibility in 2010, another Australian first. These programs have been developed in cooperation with a industry advisory group and the Australian Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility (ACCSR). The result is an executive offering that attracts senior professionals from all around Australia.
The GSM is currently reviewing its MBA offering with the PRME as the main driver for program development.
