Introduction to Sustainability Management: This introductory course provides a practical understanding of sustainability. Students learn how sustainability concepts and practices are applied in real-world situations and how organizations can shift to become more sustainable. You will examine the challenges and opportunities faced by managers when implementing and managing sustainability initiatives. Green Ink: How to Write About the Environment: This course helps students take their interest in the environment and hone their non-fiction writing skills.
