Sustainability is good for the environment—and for business
We envision a time when students consider people and the planet alongside profit in every business decision.
If you're passionate about sustainability, your Tippie coursework will often weave the topic into your studies. Both our undergraduate and graduate programs offer courses that focus on addressing global challenges to business, society, and the environment. Undergraduates can enroll in courses that lead to a Sustainability Certificate.
Certificate in sustainability
Take 24 semester hours in courses such as Introduction to Sustainability, Environmental Economics and Policy, and Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, and you’ll graduate with a Certificate in Sustainability. The certificate is open to all majors and adding it to your resume will help you stand out with future employers.
Tippie offers several courses that count towards the Sustainability Certificate, such as:
- MGMT:2000 Introduction to Law
- BUS:2013 Introduction to Sustainability
- ENTR:3500 Social Entrepreneurship
- ECON:3625 Environmental and Natural Resource Economics
- ECON:3650 Policy Analysis
