The School of Business’ Marketing Department has created a 30-credit Master of Science in Social Responsibility & Impact in Business, addressing an escalating demand for professionals in the field and significant student interest in pursuing careers that impact economic, environmental, and social sustainability.

The new degree program was approved by the University’s Board of Trustees on Wednesday, April 17, and launches this fall. The degree will prepare graduates to drive innovative and impactful business decisions for positive social change.

“It is no longer enough to have a few well-intentioned companies or individuals to focus on corporate social responsibility. The problems the world is facing are so complex, expansive, and urgent that they require systemic transformation and broad global impact,’’ says Gerlinde Berger-Walliser, a business law professor and the academic director of the program.
