The MS Environment and Resources (E-IPER)/MBA joint degree program with the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability offers you the opportunity to develop a background in the science, engineering, and technology that underlie environmental problems. You’ll integrate that knowledge with your MBA curriculum to become an influential and innovative leader addressing environmental issues — either directly or peripherally.
