Chatham University’s School of Sustainability and the Environment is now accepting applications for its new 16-month Executive Master in Sustainability Leadership program for professionals looking to strengthen their ability to advance sustainability in a range of professional settings.

This 30-credit program can be completed in under two years, is designed for those who want to advance their careers or transition to careers in sustainability, and combines online coursework with period visits to Chatham’s new, zero net energy Eden Hall Campus.

Graduates will be equipped to apply the fundamental principles of sustainability as they lead change and effectively communicate their efforts in the boardroom, to employees, and to consumers. Classes begin fall 2013.

Students will take courses designed specifically for sustainability professionals, along with courses within the Master of Sustainability program, Master of Business Administration program, communications, and other programs that will provide a broad sustainability education that focuses directly on real-world use and business application.

“Pursuing more sustainable practices is an increasingly important aspect of doing business in the United States and around the world,” says David Hassenzahl, dean of the SSE. “Clients, shareholders, suppliers, and governments are demanding that companies become accountable for their impacts on socio-ecological systems, such as air, water, waste, community health, and employee welfare.”

View admission requirements, apply online, and take a virtual tour of Eden Hall Campus. For more information about the Executive Master in Sustainability Leadership program contact Trish Golla by sending email to: PGolla@Chatham.edu.
