Introduction

In an era of rapid globalization and ecological change, environmental sustainability presents major challenges for societies, governments, and businesses alike. Across all industries and sectors of the economy, corporations and organizations are being driven by investors and other stakeholders, regulations, and public pressure to place more emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and performance.

The Master of Science in Sustainability Analytics and Management (SAM) program at Stuart School of Business provides students who have backgrounds in engineering and other STEM fields with the training, knowledge, and real-world skills they need to address the full range of challenges facing today’s sustainability professionals.

Using an applied approach, the SAM program teaches you how to leverage technological innovation, data analytics, and entrepreneurship to develop and manage sustainability systems. Courses examine the interaction between economic growth and the environment, including how to apply environmental-economic models and pollution prevention and control strategies.

The program’s emphasis on technical analytics—a core competency that is increasingly required for sustainability professionals—prepares our graduates to excel in positions responsible for measuring and reporting on ESG data for companies and organizations.

Through Illinois Tech’s one-of-a-kind Elevate program, you are guaranteed hands-on experiences throughout your graduate education, such as virtual and in-person internships, and personalized guidance from a career adviser, academic mentor, and alumni coach.

Chicago boasts a dynamic mix of industries and companies, entrepreneurial activity, green businesses, and local efforts to build sustainable communities. Illinois Tech’s location and connections built by Stuart faculty put those resources within reach and provide students with opportunities for projects and internships, networking, and pathways to careers in the nonprofit, governmental, and business sectors.
