Bard Graduate Programs in Sustainability

Bard’s Graduate Programs in Sustainability students, alumni, faculty, and staff are working toward a just transition to shared well being on a healthy planet. Our programs cultivate leaders who break through existing systems, innovating solutions to critical social, environmental, and economic challenges. We accomplish this through:

• An MBA in Sustainability offering a globally leading business curriculum that integrates sustainability vision, real world consulting engagements, organizational transformation and entrepreneurial training, equipping graduates who are changing the game.
• MS in Environmental Policy and MS in Climate Science and Policy programs whose alumni are changing the rules. They are crafting science-based policies based on their interdisciplinary training including communication and stakeholder engagement, and required, high-level professional internships.
• An M.Ed in Environmental Education, also internship-centered, that empowers our graduates to build and lead educational organizations changing minds. They bridge theory and practice to bring the lessons of ecological literacy and justice to a rising generation.

In this time of extraordinary environmental and social challenge, learn more about our three theories of change here. Through our work, we influence sustainability education and practice globally. We model the world we want to create by building a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community committed to social, racial, and environmental justice and equity. 

We Train Anti-Racist Leaders

We strive to educate leaders to bring social and environmental justice to business, policy and education. Our curricular framework centers social justice in environmental contexts and extends the focus of sustainability to human and social processes. To fulfill this commitment, Bard GPS must be an actively anti-racist program that supports racial, social, and gender equality. Learn more about our commitment to train Anti-Racist Leaders here.
