Make Social Impact
Stern Undergraduates are the future of business. Inside the classroom, you will take part in the groundbreaking Social Impact Core curriculum, recognized by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a model for undergraduate business education. The Social Impact Core is a required four-year, four-course sequence designed to immerse you in the fundamental issues facing society, and how business, in concert with other organizations, can be used to solve them. In the Social Impact Core, you will take the following courses:
Organizational Communication and Its Social Context: This course focuses on the societal expectations that companies must address, and helps you understand processes of influence and persuasion while gaining the skills required to communicate effectively to different stakeholders.
Law, Business, and Society: In this course, you will study the role of law in shaping and governing the conduct of business, and the role of commerce in our society.
Professional Responsibility and Leadership: This capstone course allows you to reflect on why you are embarking on a career in business, and how you intend to act as business professionals. You will think systemically about the risks and sources of resilience relevant to your professional life and will cultivate the habit of engaging in reflective dialogue with diverse stakeholders.
Students that wish to explore beyond the core are also able to take additional social impact classes, participate in social impact-related student organizations, or pursue a concentration in Sustainable Business.
