All students must meet the Requirements for the micro-Certificate of Graduate Study (mCGS)
Overview
The Micro-Certificate of Graduate Study in Sustainable Enterprise offers a means for graduate students from diverse backgrounds to learn how to practically embed sustainable development issues in the most prevalent form of business organizations – the family business, thereby helping them to balance their performance on the 3P dimensions of People, Planet and Profits
The Micro-Certificate of Graduate Study in Sustainable Enterprise is designed to:
- Develop students' understanding of the best and next practices of innovative family firms in sustainable development
- Deliver courses that fully integrate sustainability issues, similar to the Sustainable Innovation M.B.A. (SI-MBA), and draw on the knowledge and business acumen of our esteemed Grossman School of Business faculty in the family enterprise field
The fully online certificate requires 9 credits in the field of sustainable family enterprise. 6 of the credits are required courses in sustainable family enterprise and students choose 1 elective course (3 credits) from a variety of topical electives, including sustainable marketing, ESG accounting and reporting, new business models and green supply chains. The program will offer 2 online courses each semester, with students expected to take 1 or both courses. Students may start the program in the fall, spring, or summer.
