Dean's Message
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS.
Duquesne University believes that the best performing, most durable corporations will adopt and advance a new management framework - focused on continuous learning and striving toward lasting, integrated sustainability.
We've designed our MBA Sustainability program from the ground up, committed to preparing a new generation of senior managers to lead the way. Duquesne's MBA Sustainability degree preserves the core business strengths of a traditional MBA, then adds a depth and breadth of sustainability knowledge and experience.
Our program attracts talented young professionals from diverse backgrounds who bring with them wide-ranging business and life experience. We, in turn, provide a year of coursework, global study and professional development that will transform a passion for change into critical, marketable skills.
Our program is not for everyone. Consider carefully whether you have what it takes to challenge conventional wisdom, and lead in uncertainty.
From the start, this innovative degree has been shaped and guided by our corporate and not-for-profit partners. That circle continues to expand, ensuring a dynamic learning environment where change and adaptability become the norm.
Thank you for your interest. We invite you to get on board. Together, we will build and sustain one of the world's premier, next generation MBA programs.
Sincerely,
Alan R. Miciak
