A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive experience(s) offered by the institution:

The Master of Sustainability degree program was developed through a unique collaboration between the College of Arts & Sciences, the John Cook School of Business, the Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology and the College of Education and Public Service.

The program trains leaders to understand the cascading issues surrounding society’s increasing use of our decreasing resources. The cross-disciplinary degree integrates knowledge on sustainable business practices, effective social and policy processes as well as innovative design and engineering approaches. Consistent with Saint Louis University’s Mission, candidates will learn applied ethical reasoning skills as the foundation for achieving sustainability.

The goal of the Master of Sustainability program is to provide an integrated learning environment that emphasizes sustainability as a unique discipline. To meet that end, the program works within the following framework and related program level objectives:

Holistic: The program is interdisciplinary and focused on whole systems.

Humanistic: The program embodies the principles of service and justice found in the university mission statement.

Collaborative: The program recognizes that individuals must work together to address complex problems.

Applied: The program focuses on the application of knowledge to address real world problems
