Johnson Controls, Modine Manufacturing, Quad Graphics, and other companies participated in the development of the Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Management program and its curriculum.

A Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Management can be the foundation for a variety of positions including:

Sustainability is such a cutting-edge issue right now, and the interest at the corporate level is just unprecedented. The reality is that green is here to stay. And we're answering with a degree
program that offers the skills our students and business partners need.
