Sustainability: Urban Eco-sustainability Track

Sustainability is offered as a concentration within the professional science master's program described under Business and Science 137. The objective of the master of business and science degree with a concentration in sustainability is to help students identify, analyze, and better understand connections among social, environmental, technological, and economic systems. Based upon a systems analysis approach, this program provides a broad understanding of the forces driving these systems. It also provides specific tools and skills to measure, predict, and influence key processes that influence sustainability. A systems-based approach to problem solving seeks to envision and forecast how individual or local actions can affect the function of a larger ecosystem, structure, organization, or process. By understanding and acknowledging the interactions of social, environmental, and economic systems, graduates of this program will be better equipped to conceive, propose, and promote strategies that meet short-term personal and organizational needs while promoting sustainable, long-term outcomes.
