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:
Business and Society
This course introduces you to the complexity of the relationship between business and other societal institutions. Through a series of eminent guest speakers and small group discussions, you will explore a series of global challenges through the lens of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and learn about corporate strategies that create sustainable value for society.
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 with 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
Students who 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.
