Sustainability management refers to the processes and practices that organizations implement to promote environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. It involves developing strategies that minimize negative impacts on the environment and society while maximizing positive contributions.
About The Program
The Sustainability Management major prepares students to utilize their knowledge of business and management to help organizations advance the goals of environmental sustainability and social responsibility. The major employs a multi- disciplinary approach whereby students learn not only the scientific principles undergirding sustainable business practices but also the philosophical underpinnings of the global need for sustainability and the various regulatory approaches for achieving it. Students will also synthesize their studies through advanced interdisciplinary coursework, and either an internship, research in sustainability, or a sustainability-focused study away experience.
