Corporate Social Responsibility

Leading companies recognize the long-term value of integrating social responsibility into core business strategy.  An emphasis in corporate social responsibility prepares you to lead sustainability and CSR efforts within a company and to become an effective change agent for positive social impact.  Courses, experiential learning opportunities and additional programming are offered by the Center for Responsible Business – an “action-tank” that brings students, companies and faculty together to explore issues of corporate responsibility and sustainability and inspire leaders who redefine good business.
