Sustainability Management Master's Program
Transform your passion for sustainability into a rewarding career that impacts the lives of people and our planet.
Leading companies are discovering that what’s good for the environment is also good for business—and the demand for qualified sustainability professionals is growing at a rapid rate. The MS in Sustainability Management at Stevens prepares you to meet this demand head-on and equips you with the tools to lead in this new era of sustainable development.
Progress on sustainability requires a holistic approach, with contributors from all areas of expertise, bridging the gap between scientific progress and social implementation. In the sustainability management master’s program, students coming from the humanities, social sciences, business, policy or law will gain advanced knowledge of the science and technology of sustainability to drive action. Students with engineering, design and science backgrounds will develop the soft skills and management abilities required to lead. All students will learn to work effectively across silos and disciplines to lead bigger initiatives for systemic change.
Stevens is also home to a number of world-class research centers where students can engage with advanced innovations in environmental and energy sustainability.
