Presidio Graduate School

What is the history of Presidio Graduate School?

Presidio Graduate School was established in the early 2000s to teach management with sustainability incorporated into business and public-sector decision-making. It developed a specialized graduate-school identity rather than a broad undergraduate curriculum.

The school has used the name Presidio School of Management in its history. Because institutional names, locations, and degree-granting arrangements can change, applicants reviewing older program descriptions should confirm which institution will award the degree for their intended enrollment term.

What are the faculties and departments at Presidio Graduate School?

Presidio Graduate School is organized around graduate management education, not a collection of undergraduate colleges or conventional academic departments. Its best-known areas of study are sustainable business management and public administration.

Programs associated with Presidio include an MBA in sustainable management and an MPA focused on public-sector leadership and sustainability. Applicants should compare the current catalog's degree titles, required credits, course formats, and capstone or project requirements before relying on an older program description. Someone seeking a first bachelor's degree should look elsewhere: Presidio's academic focus is graduate study.

What is the location of Presidio Graduate School?

Presidio Graduate School is identified with San Anselmo, California, in Marin County, north of San Francisco. The name "Presidio" should not be taken to mean that every class meets in San Francisco's Presidio.

For students considering in-person or hybrid study, the practical question is where required meetings actually take place. San Anselmo is part of the greater Bay Area, but travel times and transit options differ substantially from those for a San Francisco campus. Confirm the meeting address and schedule for each course before making commuting or housing plans.

What is the mission and vision of Presidio Graduate School?

Presidio Graduate School's stated educational purpose centers on preparing people to address environmental and social challenges through management and leadership. Sustainability is intended to be part of the management curriculum, rather than only an optional subject.

That focus can appeal to applicants who want to study how organizations make financial, operational, and policy decisions. It is a statement of educational priorities, not evidence that a particular degree will produce a specific job or environmental outcome. Prospective students can test the fit by examining required courses, faculty expertise, and the kinds of projects students complete.
