ANAHEIM, Calif., May 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Despite the current global
economic environment, Anaheim University has reported a positive surge in
student enrollments in its online Sustainable Management programs. According
to Anaheim University representative Darrell Nelson, "Our student numbers have
nearly doubled over the last 3 months and our online classes are filling up
with students sincerely interested in making a difference and becoming
responsible for the environmental, social and financial bottom line. With
governments around the globe also starting to focus on the environment, it is
exciting to see our sustainable management programs becoming the courses of
choice for students the world over, who can then help to implement positive
change at their places of work."  

Through such 6-week intensive online courses as "Triple Bottom Line
Accountability," "Green Marketing" and "Corporate Social Responsibility and
Ethics," Anaheim's students learn about the "3 P's" (People, Planet and
Profit) while earning a Certificate, Diploma or MBA in Sustainable Management
(Online Green MBA).

When asked about the program, Donald Nordeng, President of the pioneering
organic certification company Ecocert's Japanese subsidiary, said, "Triple
Bottom Line Accountability is one of the subjects I am excited about getting
to grips with. This really fits with the business and whole corporate raison
d'etre, of how to increase our profit whilst at the same time adding value to
the environment and standards of living within the communities we serve.  The
fact that Anaheim University is an online University also had added incentive
for me to study.  Without the bricks and mortar, needed for travel, we are
already cutting down on thousands of tons of carbon."

Nelson added, "AU is putting people and planet before profit and we hope that
universities around the world will soon join us in becoming not only
sustainable but socially responsible institutions. To help assist students
during these challenging economic times, we have implemented the Tuition
Relief Program until June 30th.  This covers 50% of the tuition for any
degree-seeking student as well as any Sustainable Management Diploma or
Certificate student. We have also pledged to do our part in protecting the
environment by committing to becoming 100% paperless by 2010 and signing the
American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment last February."
