Presidio Graduate School (Presidio) is a private graduate school in San Francisco, California founded in 2002.[1] It offers MBA and MPA degrees in sustainable development.[2] Presidio offers a formal "green MBA" curriculum centered on environmental sustainability and social justice, to a great extent inspired by John Elkington's triple bottom line.[3] In 2015, The New York Times named Presidio the MBA program to choose "if you want to change the world."[4]

Presidio has a low-residency format with face-to-face classes once a month and remaining classes online.[5][3] About sixty percent of students are women.[6] It was previously known as Presidio World College and as Presidio School of Management.[citation needed]

Presidio is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges through its affiliation with Alliant International University.[citation needed]

Presidio alumni are well-represented in corporate sustainability across the United States. For instance, Presidians have occupied director of sustainability positions at companies including Salesforce and Facebook.[4]

Presidio presidents have included William Shutkin (2011-2016) and Mark Schulman.[7][3]
