Post-Master's Professional Certificate: Sustainability Strategies
Successful models of public administration and business management increasingly take into account the interconnections of ecological, social, and financial sustainability—the “triple bottom line” approach to planning and development. This creates a need for managers who can understand actual and potential sustainability issues and devise strategies for achieving and supporting sustainability across these dimensions.
Milano's post-master’s certificate program in Sustainability Strategies prepares working and aspiring professionals in business, government, and nonprofit organizations to play valuable planning, directing, and consulting roles in organizations that seek to define and implement sustainability as a value and a goal. With the graduate certificate, you will be prepared to contribute to sustainability goals and equipped to seek employment in institutions such as environment-oriented nonprofits, emerging “green” industries, and government planning and regulatory agencies.
A graduate degree is required for admission to this program. Practitioners of sustainability strategies span the boundaries of disciplines, and candidates are expected to come from diverse fields, including law (JD), business (MBA and MS), public administration (MPA), architecture and design (MFA), and engineering and natural science (MS and PhD).
