Student learning

The Georgetown MS-ESM program prepares you to become a principled leader in environment and sustainability. Together with your cohort, you will engage in a common curriculum that blends scientific knowledge with business principles – a powerful combination that will enable you to decisively address looming environmental threats and help build a more sustainable future within almost any organization.

The curriculum culminates with the Capstone Course, a professional-level consulting project that builds upon the knowledge gained from your courses. With guidance from your faculty, you will work with a small group of fellow MS-ESM students and partner with executives from real-life organizations to address complex sustainability and business challenges.

Courses will be offered two to three days per week with most courses scheduled during the day.
