This course serves as a starting point for the MS-ESM coursework by introducing students to the topics of sustainability and equipping them with a strong foundational knowledge of the theory of sustainability and the balance between environmental, social, and economic systems. The focus of this course is organizational sustainability in a variety of organizations (for-profit businesses, nonprofits, foundations). Through an immersive case study, students work on real-life challenges in groups to identify the issues, problems, and solutions required at the intersection of business and the natural environment. In addition, this course provides a primer to ethics, equity, and justice issues.
