As far as US schools, I don't think too much has changed over the past couple of years. For social enterprise, the schools that immediately come to mind are Yale, Duke, Kellogg, and Haas. I know UCLA is trying to increase this area in their curriculum as well.

vikram4689, great to meet you here. I'm from Shanghai, China, and now working in a nonprofit educational organization. I plan to study MBA and my post-MBA goal is to join a for-profit education organization. How about you?

Hi..
Is this thread still active?
I am currently working for an NGO in India in the education sector. I am considering applying to Yale, Ross, Haas, Fuqua and Tuck in the 2014-15 admission season. Considering that I want to set up a social enterprise in the long term, would consulting be a feasible short term goal immediately after my MBA? Especially in companies such as Bain, BCG or McKinsey? From what I have gathered from their websites, they provide services to the social sector and the education industry as well. My question is, would B-schools (the ones I have mentioned) consider it realistic? If they do, I would like to talk with alums or current students who are pursuing this route.

So look, I don't mean to put down anyone's professional ambitions, but I haven't the slightest interest in banking/finance or consulting. Is anyone else out there applying to B-schools for the non-profit management or social entrepreneurship programs? I've been soliciting views from current students at a bunch of schools and have gotten mixed reviews about how non-traditional business school types like us are received. Thoughts, anyone?

Banking or finance is a booming industry and you would have a good career graph after you enter these field. But yes, if you are not interested then it is better to enter into the field you love. I would suggest you to get in touch with an admission/ education consultant to find out the correct career path.
