Social Innovation and Impact Specialization Description

Social Innovation and Impact Specialization courses blend social and environmental perspectives with the more traditional economic perspective. They provide innovative conceptual frameworks, strategies, and implementation skills necessary to create substantial social as well as economic value in for-profit, nonprofit and public sectors.
Each course in the SII specialization falls into one or more of the following areas:

• Ethics/Corporate Social Responsibility/Diversity/Wealth Distribution
• Environmental Sustainability
• Economic Development
• Social Venturing
• Non-Profit Management

The specialization is appropriate for students anticipating careers (now or later) in the non-profit and public sectors and for those who wish to enhance their engagement in the for-profit sector as a matter of corporate citizenship.
