Sustainability means using, developing and protecting resources at a rate and in a manner that enables people to meet their current needs and also provides that future generations can meet their own needs.

The concept of sustainability applies to all aspects of life on Earth and is commonly defined within ecological, social and economic contexts. Due to factors such as overpopulation, lack of education, inadequate financial circumstances and the actions of past generations, sustainability can be difficult to achieve.

Sustainability is fairly recent as a college major.  The threat of global warming has prompted many organizations and businesses to analyze their business processes and assess their impact on the environment.  This had led to a sudden demand of professionals who would help the organization identify key areas and opportunities for the company to go green, as this also results in significant cost savings for the company. 

An MBA degree helps an individual acquire this relevant knowledge, while at the same time adds value to his/her qualifications.
As of now, there are relatively few colleges that offer Masters degrees in Sustainability; and even fewer that offer an MBA concentration in Sustainable Business.  That's what makes SFSU's MBA program in Sustainable Business truly unique.
