The lines between nonprofit and for-profit, public and private are increasingly blurred. Commercial enterprises are taking on the challenges of corporate social responsibility. Nonprofits are looking for increasingly innovative approaches to raising money. Suddenly everyone is looking to sustain a social mission AND a bottom line.
That’s why NYU Wagner and NYU Stern School of Business offer an integrated dual-degree program in business and public administration for leaders who want to solve today’s most vexing challenges at the local, national, and global levels. With an MPA-MBA degree, you’ll be able to make an immediate and positive impact on business and public service—and you’ll have the skills to work across all sectors.
Alumni of the program strive to make an immediate and positive impact on business and society and have done so with successful careers in many fields, including:
- Social Entrepreneurship
- Corporate Social Responsibility
- Social Impact Investing
- Public-Private Partnerships and Hybrid Organizations
- Lobbying and Government Affairs
- Complex, highly regulated industries (e.g., Healthcare, Energy)
