Overview
Syracuse University’s Maxwell and Whitman Schools offer a Master of Science in Sustainable Organizations & Policy, providing the skills and knowledge to become competent in economic, social, and environmental sustainability and their
interdependencies from public and private perspectives.
Through completing courses from both Maxwell and Whitman, students apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills through systems thinking perspectives applied to sustainability challenges, and learn to effectively communicate sustainability solutions.
Students conclude their one-year program with an experiential learning project in partnership with external organizations. They apply classroom learning, evaluate the organization’s current sustainability practices and policies, and generate value-added solutions to the organization’s sustainability challenges.
