Boston, United States
We are in the midst of multiple crises—global pandemic, social injustice, climate crisis, and others. A typical first reaction is that it is the government’s role and responsibility to take care of these crises. Yet, government leadership is often missing or insufficient. This puts the spotlight and responsibility on the private sector to address these crises and prevent the system from collapsing. Accordingly, understanding how and to what extent (non-profit and for-profit) organizations and investors can grow and sustain their organizations over time while strengthening—instead of undermining—the very system in which they operate is important, as organizations can play a critical role in addressing climate change, poverty, inequality, global health, and other societal grand challenges our world is facing related to society and the natural environment. Do you aspire to pursue a career that allows you to address such grand challenges and make a positive impact on society and the natural environment? Our Social Impact MBA program is fully integrated with Questrom’s general MBA program—so you will take the same core business courses and earn the same degree. On top, it will allow you to gain deep knowledge and skills that will prepare you for a successful career in the social impact space. Prepare to join a vibrant, impact-driven community, develop lifelong bonds with your classmates, and connect with our engaged Social Impact MBA alumni network. Other schools perceive social impact to be an afterthought—at Questrom, it’s front and center.
