Business Administration (MBA) and Sustainability Management (MS)


In this dual degree program, graduates receive a Business Administration (MBA) [Full-Time]  and a Sustainability Management (MS)  through the Kogod School of Business  (KSB). Neither degree will be awarded until all requirements for both degrees are completed.

Admission to the Program


Applicants must satisfy the admission requirements of KSB to be admitted to the program. In addition, applicants must also have completed two undergraduate economics courses, one in micro and one in macro economics (or the graduate equivalent), prior to entering the program. Ideally, application to the dual degree program should be made during the initial admissions process to KSB, but must be made no later than the end of the first year of the MBA program. Applicants are considered and admitted for the fall semester only.
