Master of Business Administration - Sustainability

York University

Sustainability-related issues are now at the forefront of both global society and management practice. Whether it be organizational efforts related to decarbonization, decolonization, or diversity, managers are increasingly tasked with designing, orchestrating, and measuring organizational efforts to engage in more sustainable business practices. Originally launched in 1991 as the Erivan K. Haub Program in Business & the Environment, the Sustainability Specialization at Schulich is designed to provide students with the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to manage sustainability initiatives across different functional areas. Through a combination of in-class discussions, role-playing exercises, experiential learning opportunities (both domestic and international), and interactions with sustainability professionals, students will learn how to effectively engage with key internal and external stakeholders. Students will also learn how to navigate the increasingly complex set of sustainability-related disclosure and reporting demands facing organizations globally.
