Columbia University’s Earth Institute and the School of Continuing Education are finalizing plans for a new M.S. in Sustainability Management with a first class set to begin in fall 2010. The new program will train people in environmental measurement tools and cutting edge environmental science to help students fully understand the systematic and organizational role of sustainability in any organization.
The part-time or full-time program is designed to be applicable to many fields including the growing field of sustainability management, risk and environment management, financial services, utilities, industrial manufacturing, energy, pharmaceuticals, academia, health care, media, transportation, food service, and technology. The program will address the increasing global challenges all organizations face, from limiting their carbon emissions to managing their water resources.
A first information session for the new program will be held Thursday, November 19 at 6 p.m. at The Hilton Times Square Hotel.
