Social Impact & Responsibility

专业详情

Social impact and responsibility is a broad, multidisciplinary, and evolving area. The social impact & responsibility concentration is designed to help students address the question: “How should business enterprises and business thinking be engaged to improve society in areas not always associated with business?”

For students dedicated to working in the social sector, the secondary concentration helps to put their specific interests into a broader context. For other students, the secondary concentration allows them to build on their primary concentration with a social impact perspective, and to think critically about the role of business in society.

The concentration consists of one foundation course (LGST 2300), one focus course, one application course, and one elective. One of the four credits for the concentration must contain a significant experiential component that gives students the opportunity to pursue field work or an in-depth project.
