Description:
The Master of Science in Environmental Management- one of only a few such such programs in the nation- integrates law, science and business to answer the increasing demand for a uniquely trained management professional who understands the many complex dimensions of environmental issues today. In the 2005 Grey Pinstripes Survey of 600 accredited graduate business schools in which the World Resources Institute and The Aspen Institute assess how well environmental and social responsibility are integrated with the business programs, Stuart was ranked in the top 15% in the world.To provide the program's interdisciplinary perspective, Stuart joined forces with IIT's renowned Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Chicago-Kent College of Law's pioneering program in environmental and energy law. The program prepares students for upper staff and management environmental positions in corporations, government agencies, consulting firms and not-for-profit organizations.
The program is supported by the Stuart School's recently founded Chicago Center for Sustainable Enterprise. The mission of this resource center is to identify, develop, communicate and help implement practical and equitable business strategies to advance the ecological sustainability of the Chicago area while fostering current and future economic viability.
