Sustainable entrepreneurship
As more and more people recognize the importance of sustainability, new opportunities abound, but an entrepreneurial approach is necessary to recognize and implement them. We offer a full range of courses to train students to create new businesses with life-sustaining products and services.
Green business and natural capitalism
We embrace the vision that business can be “green both ways” — operating in harmony with nature, and making money. Each of our entrepreneurial business courses teaches principles and examples of green business and natural capitalism.
Continuous sustainable improvement
Students learn to design and manage new enterprises through the application of sustainable business process improvement, achieving balanced and integrated improvements in the performance of any organization, and delivering value to all the stakeholders including customers, employees, shareholders, community, and environment. These improvements include reliability, efficiency and continuous innovation. Using customer-centered approaches, students apply process improvement techniques as consultants to an actual business.
Credit for internship work
Students may earn up to 12 units of credit for internships.
