To empower the next generation of sustainability and climate leaders, the Haas School of Business and the Rausser College of Natural Resources partner to offer a concurrent degree program leading to an MBA and a Master of Climate Solutions (MCS).
The MBA/MCS degree is designed for early-career professionals who plan to take their careers to a higher level of business leadership, grounded in understanding of sustainability and climate change challenges and opportunities. The program aims to develop critical skills and knowledge in climate data science, carbon accounting, and lifecycle analysis, as well as technological and nature-based solutions.
Students in the MBA/MCS cohort will spend the first year completing MBA core coursework at Haas before moving to classes at Rausser. All MBA/MCS students will participate in a semester-long capstone program that gives students the opportunity to partner with real organizations across business, government, and non-profit sectors.
This innovative program prepares students to be change agents and leaders in businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies.
Why earn a dual degree?
- This program will allow you to dive deeper into sustainability than the standard MBA.
- Students pursuing this degree will have a more immersive experience! With five semesters at Berkeley, it will give students the opportunity to have two summer internships and complete immersive project based courses in both degree programs.
How to apply?
- MBA/MCS program applicants must complete the MBA application form and select the concurrent degree program. Applicants are required to submit a statement of purpose regarding their interest in the concurrent degree. More information about how to apply can be found here.
