Profile
The MSc program in Sustainable Development, Management, and Policy (SDMP) invites students from diverse backgrounds to explore sustainability through a multidisciplinary lens. The program strives to build a high level of expertise among its graduates for analyzing conditions and problems related to sustainability and for effective solution design. The MSc curriculum is composed of a unique combination of theory and practical hands-on application, and SDMP students are provided with a solid multidisciplinary background that draws on material from fields including economics, governance, social psychology, environmental sciences, geography, and management.Small class sizes provide the ideal environment for collaborative learning. MSc students are challenged to examine a broad range of specific analytical topics and are given the opportunity to apply them in practical ways. Topics include stakeholder-specific implementation; public, private, and third sector implications of sustainable development; policy and governance-related sustainability issues; environmental and sustainable management issues; and economic development issues. Specifically, MSc students learn multiple tools of analysis, strategy design, implementation, evaluation at various levels of scale and governance, and organization management. MSc students gain insight and confidence through lively classroom debates and simulations which help remove sustainability from symbolic frames, challenging students to link theory directly with practice. SDMP graduates will be ready to adapt skills learned both in and out of the classroom to future career challenges of a particular location or organizational context.The program’s multidisciplinary curriculum is composed of six unique modules, providing students with a comprehensive framework in research methods, management, and field-specific content in economics, governance, social psychology, environmental sciences, and geography.
