In an article by GreenBiz.com producer Joel Makower, Arizona State University's recently developed Executive Master’s for Sustainability Leadership program is said "to fill a critical gap in sustainability education in business." Meant for those already in the business world, but looking to advance their education and background, the new program takes only a year to complete and is based around four curriculum themes: leadership, strategy, communication, and global context.
"One of the things we’ve found is that there’s a real yearning for organizations to understand what sustainability is and [how] it can add value to organizations," says Christopher Boone, professor and interim dean of ASU’s School of Sustainability. "Ultimately, [sustainability is] about finding solutions. When we’re thinking about solutions, we need to think about not just how things work in theory, but how we can apply that theory to find solutions to complex problems."
The first cohort begins in January. On Aug. 20, Joel Makower will host a one-hour webcast, The Secrets of Sustainable Leadership in Business, sponsored by the ASU Executive Master’s for Sustainability Leadership program. Register here.
