The Sustainability and Business Program considers and applies environmental, social and financial concerns to creating a more sustainable world. You gain the knowledge, experience and ethical grounding to play a leadership role within a public or private company, nonprofit organization, or as an entrepreneur.

More specifically the program strives to:

• Prepare students for ethically and socially responsible roles in sustainability and business professions and society;
• Develop in students the ability to recognize, analyze, and solve problems with an awareness and appreciation of human connections with the rest of nature;
• Help students achieve their personal and career goals; and
• Prepare students for entry-level positions in either the private or public sector and/or to prepare students for coursework at the graduate level.

Sustainability and Business is offered jointly by the Departments of Environmental Studies and Business in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is designed to be interdisciplinary and to offer students numerous opportunities for collaboration and experiential learning. The major will allow students to pursue interests in the non-profit, corporate and public sectors. Students may also elect to focus on sustainability and entrepreneurship. Employment opportunities include corporate or municipal sustainability officers, green business owners/managers, socially responsible investment management, and others.  The first year experience includes a Green Learning Community.
