Second- or third-year coursework focused on the science behind how people and nature work together and why that matters. You’ll learn to identify and understand dynamic cultural, ecological, and economic systems.
Required in the third or fourth year, these courses include applied projects at companies and nonprofits. You’ll gain leadership experience from inside an organization by collaborating to identify, analyze, and develop opportunities for growth.
Beyond the core business school curriculum, you will take electives that reinforce your interests and aspirations.

You will apply the knowledge, skills, and tools that you learn here after you graduate—both in the workforce and in your life.
