91¿´Æ¬

Rooted in Jesuit Values

91¿´Æ¬ brings a distinctive perspective to sustainability management, grounded in the Jesuit tradition of ethical leadership, service, and cura personalis—care for the whole person. At the Sellinger School, that means understanding sustainability as more than an environmental challenge. It's about creating organizations and communities where people, the planet, and business can thrive together.

Distinctive Degree Program

As the first and only BBA in Sustainability Management in Maryland, and one of the few in the country, 91¿´Æ¬'s program was built ahead of the growing demand for sustainability professionals. That head start means you'll learn from a curriculum refined over years of experience and join an established network of alumni working in ESG, sustainable finance, supply chain, corporate strategy, and other fields. You'll graduate with a sustainability management education grounded in experience and built for where the industry is headed.

Connected to Where the Industry is Growing

Sustainability careers are growing across the Northeast corridor, and 91¿´Æ¬'s Baltimore location puts you within reach of opportunities in sustainable finance and ESG, federal agencies in Washington, D.C., global consulting firms, B Corps, and corporate sustainability teams across Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, and New York. Through 91¿´Æ¬'s Jesuit network, the global Net Impact community, faculty mentorship, and connections with industry leaders, you'll build a professional network that is both locally rooted and globally connected.

The sustainability management major develops a core set of analytical, strategic, and ethical competencies that make any professional more effective  and more valuable to any organization navigating the demands of the 21st century.

ESG strategy & analysis

Critically assess how environmental, social, and governance practices affect financial performance, risk, and long-term competitive advantage — and develop strategies that create value across all three

Sustainability reporting & disclosure

Master the frameworks and standards — GRI, SASB, TCFD — used to measure, report, and communicate sustainability performance to investors, regulators, and stakeholders.

Ethical decision-making & corporate responsibility

Develop the ethical framework to navigate complex trade-offs between business performance and social/environmental responsibility — and lead organizations that take both seriously.

Stakeholder engagement & social legitimacy

Understand stakeholder theory, materiality, and how to build social and environmental legitimacy as a source of competitive advantage with investors, communities, and regulators.

All programs based in the Management & Organizations department are designed to help students demonstrate a set of human-centered skills for meaningful, future-ready leadership. While individual courses may emphasize certain skills more than others, all are cultivated throughout the course of study. Learn more about our core competencies.
