1 MANAGING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE MASTER OF SCIENCE IN SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

2 WHAT IS MScSM? The MScSM Program is unique. In the MScSM Program, sustainability includes environmental, economic and social sustainability. We believe one of these three is not possible without the other two. Based on this perspective, the curriculum integrates business management, natural science and social science in its courses, and always through the lens of sustainability. Each core course provides the knowledge, skills and strategic perspectives that many forward-thinking leaders have communicated to us as essential to their organizations goals. Graduates of MScSM will be well situated to provide managerial leadership in many fields that exist and are emerging in the area of sustainability. We expect our future graduates to be key leaders guiding the world towards global sustainability sustainable businesses, sustainable communities, and sustainable environments.
