For professionals who are focused on the future looking to work where profit and purpose intersect, an MBA with a concentration in Corporate Sustainability and Social Impact (CSSI) may be ideal.

A few of the skills this concentration allows you to develop include:
- Leading diversity, equity and inclusion

- How sustainability and value creation intersect
- Brand and reputation management
- Ethics
The MBA concentration in corporate sustainability and social impact is offered in person or online.
