MA in Socially Responsible Business and Sustainable Communities

The MA in Socially Responsible Business and Sustainable Communities is a 48 credit graduate program. Students can choose between the two year Master of Arts program or the one year 24 credit Certificate of Graduate Study.

The MA in Socially Responsible Business and Sustainable Communities Program views the concerns of social responsibility, sustainability, and social justice as inextricably linked.  Communities around the world continue to become increasingly interconnected around issues of human rights, the distribution of wealth, climate change, and ethical leadership. The allocation of resources, the drive of the world’s people for self-determination, and the long-term vitality of the planet require new and innovative solutions to these social, political, economic and environmental issues.

Studies within the program support students in their aspiration to be effective agents of positive social change as entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, leaders, managers, community organizers, environmental stewards, and social justice advocates. Students in the program acquire skills needed to create and lead just, sustainable, and socially responsible organizations and communities.
