MA in Socially Responsible Business and Sustainable CommunitiesAreas of StudyStudents in the low residency MA in Socially Responsible Business and Sustainable Communities Program develop the theoretical and practical knowledge they need to advance in their current career or to start a new vocational path. Students build their studies around one of three areas:
Socially Responsible Business Alternative business models are powerful vehicles for creating positive and sustainable local and global transformation. Students within the Socially Responsible Business area of study use a whole system approach to focus on the development and implementation of mission-driven business initiatives that are committed to the profitable, sustainable, and just interconnection of multiple bottom lines.
Social Entrepreneurship Social Entrepreneurship supports the self-reliant efforts of non-profit and community-based organizations to create just, equitable, and sustainable social change for those who are marginalized. Social entrepreneurs focus on making a positive social sector impact by identifying and solving deeply entrenched social problems. Students choosing Social Entrepreneurship aim to combine their passion for social mission with the best practices of business endeavors to support the creation of innovative organizational models that champion social change for the public good.
Sustainable Communities Sustainable community development fosters civic engagement, democratic values, social justice, and environmental stewardship. Students in the Sustainable Communities area of study promote local capacity building as the means by which a community assures itself of sustainable prosperity, the viable preservation of its culture, and quality of life for all of its members.
