Environmental Management and Sustainability (M.S.)

About

In the Master of Science in Finance program, students learn the latest industry-relevant ideas and technologies from faculty who bring their career knowledge of the marketplace to the classroom. As a leading financial center, Chicago offers abundant opportunities for internships and networking.

In an era of rapid globalization and ecological change, environmental sustainability presents major challenges for societies, governments, and businesses alike. The Master of Science in Environmental Management and Sustainability Program (EMS) is designed to provide students who have backgrounds in engineering and other STEM fields with real-world skills, training, and knowledge that will prepare them to address those challenges.

With an applied approach and a curriculum that integrates business, science, and law, the program emphasizes how to use technological innovation and entrepreneurial activity to develop effective environmental management and sustainability systems.

Courses examine the interaction between economic growth and the environment, including how to apply environmental-economic models, the implications of environmental externalities, and pollution prevention and control strategies and policies in the areas of solid waste, water and wastewater, and air pollution. Students gain experience with cutting-edge managerial and analytical tools and techniques.

Chicago boasts a dynamic mix of high-tech companies, entrepreneurial activity, green businesses, and local efforts to build sustainable communities. Illinois Techs location and connections built by Stuart School of Business faculty put those resources within reach and provide students with opportunities for hands-on projects, networking with industry professionals, and pathways to careers in the nonprofit, governmental, and business sectors.

This is a STEM-designated program, and international graduates of the program are eligible to apply for an extension for Optional Practical Training.
