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.
