Bachelor of Science in Science Technology and Society - Energy, Environment and Technology

The Undergraduate Concentration in Business, Energy, Environment, & Sustainability is designed to provide in-depth foundations for those interested in the complex relationships between business and the natural environment, management of environmental risks, and the business and economics of energy. As global energy markets grow and change rapidly and environmental challenges rise, there is a strong need for a new generation of expert business leaders who understand the rapidly evolving trends in business models, technology, regulation, and financing. Students choosing this concentration are therefore ideally suited for the ever-expanding set of careers in energy companies, clean-tech investing, energy banking, consulting, the non-profit world, and the government. Students will gain insight into these challenges through an inter-disciplinary approach. This concentration, which is housed in the Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department, includes relevant course offerings by departments including Business Economics and Public Policy, Finance, Legal Studies and Business Ethics, Management, Marketing, and Operations Information and Decisions. Up to one credit unit of coursework on business, energy, and the environment can be credited toward this concentration from the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, or the School of Design, among other programs, as specified below. Because this concentration is housed in the Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department, courses offered by Legal Studies and Business Ethics cannot be used toward the Business Breadth requirement.
