Overview

As society tackles increasingly complex environmental, economic, and social problems, we are going to need leaders with an understanding of both the principles of sustainability and the management of organizations. The Sustainability and Management Applied Minor seeks to provide students with:

  • An understanding of environmental issues that will face future organizational leaders.
  • An understanding of how business and governmental organizations function.
  • Knowledge about the use of systems-thinking and triple bottom line decision-making.
  • Skills from both management and sustainability that can be combined to create more sustainable business and government organizations.
