With a focus on strategic sustainability, the M.B.A. program expands Cal Poly Humboldt’s reputation for championing sustainability into the business world. Our curriculum is designed to empower you to achieve fiscal sustainability within your organization while promoting responsible environmental stewardship and balancing societal interests.

Our rigorous, innovative, scientifically based courses provide a foundation of knowledge for effective professional practice. Employers are looking for a new type of M.B.A. graduate with the tools to drive strategic change within their organizations, and with an M.B.A. from Humboldt, you will be prepared to effectively navigate the dynamics of sustainability to achieve positive results.

Why this program

Students are introduced to “systems thinking,” which allows them to explore the economic impact of business decisions, and also understand the social and environmental impact, which differentiates Humboldt graduates from the pack.
