Blog Archive Friday Factoid Getting Certified in Sustainability at MIT Sloan Sustainability is at the heart of MIT Sloans nonprofit/social entrepreneurship curriculum. Examples taken from the more than a dozen sustainability-focused courses available (during the 2012â€"2013 academic year) are “Enabling an Energy-Efficient Society,” Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Economic Development: The Case of Puerto Rico, Sustainability, Trade, and the Environment, and Management of Services: Concepts, Design, Delivery. In February 2010, Sloan announced its third specialty certificate option, the Sustainability Certificate. Open to all MBA and Sloan-related students (e.g., Leaders for Global Operations participants, Sloan Fellows), the new certificate “views sustainability as a function of the interdependent dynamics of economic, societal, and environmental systems, where success overall is influenced by success across all areas and not upon a single factor.” Required courses are System Dynamics, Strategies for Sustainable Business, Sustainable Business Lab, Professional Seminar in Sustainability and a capstone course in, you guessed it, sustainability. Students also choose two electives from a list of 30 options. In addition to receiving the certificate, students who pursue it will receive access to Summer Sustainability Internships and a special resume book for sustainability.
