Thought Leadership in the Classroom
The Tamer Institute for Social Enterprise and Climate Change, which focuses on curriculum within the business school, offers a full range of elective courses, activities, and initiatives that give students maximum exposure to the field.
Students who focus on social and environmental impact areas can apply the business fundamentals learned in their core courses to electives in such specialized areas as social entrepreneurship, board and nonprofit management, corporate responsibility and sustainability, climate tech and climate risk, political economy, and international development.
Because there are no minimum course requirements, the courses supported by the Tamer Institute for Social Enterprise and Climate Change affords students great flexibility in designing their course of study. The MBA core curriculum is designed to give first year students, including those focusing on social and environmental impacts, the ability to choose two elective courses in their second term.
In addition, curricular sessions in orientation and in core courses incorporate the Individual, Business, and Society Curriculum (IBSC), which was developed under the auspices of the Bernstein Center for Leadership and Ethics.
