Finance Beyond Dollars and Cents
You believe that putting the needs of people and planet ahead of profit can harness the power of business to deliver better outcomes. And you’re excited that sustainability has moved from a niche concept to a globally recognized strategic priority, increasingly viewed as essential to business operations and success.
Employers now recognize the significant role business will play in combating climate change, and major investment firms are listening to pressure from regulators, investors, and consumers who want to put their money into socially responsible ventures. The demand for finance professionals with expertise in sustainable practices is increasing. Now’s the time to put your purpose into action.
NSU’s Master of Science in Finance and Sustainability provides the knowledge and technical skills required to conduct financial analysis in an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework. With rigorous coverage of core financial principles and skills integrated with the principles of sustainability, you will review socially responsible projects that are promoting sustainability in our world and in South Florida, including those in healthcare, tourism, and transportation.
The M.S. in Finance and Sustainability is uniquely structured with a focus on ESG, facilitated by an array of courses that allow you to tailor the program to satisfy your unique interests and goals. Gain the financial background and skills necessary to navigate the ESG ecosystem so you can use your day job to make changes that are best for our world—for today and tomorrow.
