Two New Joint Degrees Offered to MBAs
Beginning this fall, Stanford MBA students will be able to pursue two new joint degrees: one in environment and resources, and the other in public policy. Each requires that the student be admitted to the Business School before applying for the joint program.
Students working toward the MBA/MS in environmental science, offered in conjunction with the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Environment and Resources, may choose from four areas of concentration: natural sciences; culture, law, institutions, and politics; technology and engineering; and economics and policy analysis. Erica Plambeck of the Business School faculty is working with colleagues in law, biology, and engineering to develop a new core course for the program: Environmental Science for Managers and Policy Makers.
The joint master's degree in business and public policy is offered with the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research to prepare future managers to deal with public policy matters in their professional careers. In addition to business subjects, MBA/MPP students will take core courses in law; collective action; judgment and decision making; political philosophy and ethics; and writing and rhetoric for policy audiences. Business School faculty Jeremy Bulow and Daniel Kessler will teach core courses in microeconomics and economic policy analysis.
Completion of the joint program in environmental science is expected to take eight quarters. The MBA/MPP will take approximately nine.
