M.B.A
with a Concentration in Sustainable Development

The Heller School’s MBA Degree concentration in Sustainable Development (SD) is an integrated part of the Programs in Sustainable International Development while all other courses and requirements are within the MBA Program. The MBA is a 16-month program beginning in late August and ending the following December.

The MBA prepares managers for leadership positions in organizations pursuing social missions including nonprofit, public, and for-profit sectors. Heller M.B.A. students master the full range of management skills required to lead a viable organization. In addition, they learn the distinctive challenges of managing organizations, including how to conduct a "social accounting" of outcomes aimed at achieving a desired social mission, and how to balance that mission against the financial constraints facing that organization. Based on the idea that context matters, the program also offers courses in social policy, including concentrations in:

• Sustainable Development
• Social Policy and Management
• Children, Youth & Family Policy and Management
• Health Care Management and Policy

The M.B.A. concentration in Sustainable Development is designed to educate individuals who will take on leadership or create innovative and effective organizations in domestic or international development. Courses in the main MBA program are complemented by offerings from the Programs in Sustainable International Development. The MBA has 12 management courses and one management elective. The SD concentration includes 2 required courses and 2 electives.
