Overview
In the 16-month Impact MBA at CSU’s College of Business, you’ll learn to connect purpose and profit to begin a meaningful career in the expanding sector of sustainable business. In our top-ranked sustainability MBA, you’ll learn how to integrate economic, social and environmental initiatives to achieve sustainable business goals and respond to today’s most urgent challenges such as climate change.
As a STEM-designated business program, you’ll learn the science behind sustainability and the essential skills to both make the business case for sustainability projects and accomplish its goals. You’ll gain practical, hands-on job experience after the first year of coursework in the fellowship capstone with an organization where you’ll apply what you’ve learned to real challenges and support a business’s actual operations.
With CSU’s Impact MBA, you have the ability to add graduate certificates in either Carbon Management or Entrepreneurship and Innovation. You can also pursue a dual degree with the Impact MBA and the Master of Finance, ultimately saving time and tuition compared to pursuing each degree separately.
CSU in Fort Collins ranks as the No. 1 University in sustainable research, No. 2 in curriculum, No. 3 in campus engagement and more worldwide (STARS, 2022). The Impact MBA continues that reputation of excellence and ranks as the No. 4 “Better World MBA” nationally and No. 20 globally by Corporate Knights.
