About

Today, taking a sustainability approach is smart business, and more and more organizations are looking for leaders driven by a green mindset as they lead others and seek success. If you’re ready to help the world do business better, this sustainability management program may be just for you.

With a degree in sustainability management, you’ll learn to understand the relationship between global ecology and the business world, work to find creative solutions for the problems our world faces, and make a lasting impact on the health of your community and world. This holistic view of doing business places equal emphasis on the planet, people, and profit, a concept referred to as the triple bottom line, which has always been a core value of our business program.
