In Fall of 2009, I spoke to one of the founders of Endeavor, a non-profit dedicated to supporting high impact entrepreneurs in developing countries. When I asked what the top MBA programs for social entrepreneurship were, he said HBS, Stanford, and Duke, because all 3 have benefited from the leadership of Greg Dees. Professor Dees is currently at Duke running the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship.
I would highly recommend using the Net Impact Business as Unusual Guide to Graduate Programs to educate yourself about the various schools. Ultimately I applied to the following schools based on their social enterprise programs:
Ross (full tuition), Yale (full tuition), Duke (85% tuition), NYU (accepted)
HBS (int.->ding), Stanford (int.->ding), Kellogg (int.->ding), Columbia (int.->W/L->Decline)
I'll be going to Duke. It was tough to decide between Duke, Ross, and Yale, but ultimately Duke has better intangibles (weather, women, international diversity, basketball, better class size & facilities than Yale, better East coast connects & housing situation than Ross) than the other two programs that gave me $.
