Why MBA Sustainability
Want to know more?
Turn a Passion for Change Into a World of Opportunity
Duquesne created a new MBA degree to meet growing demand for next-generation leaders who understand that planned growth, ethics, community and the environment all impact business strategy, value creation and shareholder return.
Core MBA coursework (accounting, operations, finance, etc.) builds analytical skills and prepares you to practice evidence-based management.
SYNTHESIS + ANALYSIS
We recognize that beyond analysis, the art of "synthesis" is equally important – the ability to discern patterns in seemingly unrelated sets of observations, grasp complex relationships, and imagine a fresh approach. In this program, we work hard at blending the skills of the scientific disciplines (analysis) and the humanities (synthesis).
VALUE OF YOUR DEGREE »
Learn why all other things being equal, senior managers said they would prefer to hire MBA graduates with knowledge and training in sustainability.
BEYOND "GREEN" »
Old notions of the "green corporation" have given way to a far more complex understanding of what will be required to achieve lasting change. Test your Sustainability IQ.
OUR INTEGRATED DIFFERENCE »
From day one, we challenge professors and students alike to consider simultaneously the social, economic, environmental and ethical dimensions of business activity and impact.
UN Global Compact
The world's largest, global corporate citizenship initiative, the Global Compact is first and foremost concerned with exhibiting and building the social legitimacy of business and markets.
