Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Impact Specialization

In the 16-month Impact MBA at CSU’s College of Business, you’ll learn to connect purpose and profit to begin a meaningful career in the expanding sector of sustainable business. In our top-ranked sustainability MBA, you’ll learn how to integrate economic, social and environmental initiatives to achieve sustainable business goals and respond to today’s most urgent challenges such as climate change.

As a STEM-designated business program, you’ll learn the science behind sustainability and the essential skills to both make the business case for sustainability projects and accomplish its goals. You’ll gain practical, hands-on job experience after the first year of coursework in the fellowship capstone with an organization where you’ll apply what you’ve learned to real challenges and support a business’s actual operations.

With CSU’s Impact MBA, you have the ability to add graduate certificates in either Carbon Management or Entrepreneurship and Innovation. You can also pursue a dual degree with the Impact MBA and the Master of Finance, ultimately saving time and tuition compared to pursuing each degree separately.
