Master of Science - Sustainability Management and Policy

The California State University, Long Beach' College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, College of Liberal Arts, College of Business (COB), and the College of Professional and International Education (CPIE) have joined efforts to offer a Master’s Degree in Sustainability Management and Policy (MSSMP). This program is designed to prepare students to apply the concepts of sustainability within an organization and the regulatory environment by engaging them in advanced training. This program will provide a transdisciplinary graduate degree that will empower students with in-demand technical, managerial, and problem-solving skills to guide the decision-making process in the context of sustainability.   

The curriculum design objective is to offer a balance between theory and application by illustrating the holistic dynamics of social, economic, environmental, business, and technical systems. Students with a science or engineering foundation who are interested in sustainability will increase their knowledge and competence in the field, enabling them to pursue careers in management or policy with a sustainability focus.
