MA Liderstvo u Socijalnoj Inovaciji i Održivosti

The mission of the Social Innovation and Sustainability Leadership Program is to: Together, Create Well-Being for All.

The program takes a hands-on, applied approach through the creation and implementation of social innovation projects as a central part of each Social Innovation & Sustainability Leadership course. Students will identify a social innovation project that is professionally meaningful and meets the needs of the community or organization. The project can last one or more terms depending on your interest, the needs of the organization or community, and the scope of the project.

Students enter the Social Innovation and Sustainability Leadership program with a wide variety of degrees and professional backgrounds. There is not a prerequisite field of study or professional experience needed to succeed in the program. Courses accommodate traditional students as well as working professionals. Required courses are taken in-person with a cohort of peers. The coursework, including the capstone course, allows you to specialize in your fields of interest, such as business, social entrepreneurship, non-profit management, organizational development, education, healthcare, public administration, international community development, and more. Contact us to determine a schedule that fits with your personal and professional goals and responsibilities.

The intentionally small number of students in each cohort (no more than 17) allows you to develop deep relationships with community partners, instructors, and fellow students. Students come with a variety of educational and professional backgrounds.
