Nicholas and Fuqua Announce New Joint Master in Business, Climate, and Sustainability

The Nicholas School and the Fuqua School of Business at Duke just announced their new Master in Business, Climate, and Sustainability, a joint degree that prepares students to navigate complex systems, translate insight into strategy, and lead across industries.

Unlike sustainability-focused degrees or general business management programs, this 10-month program develops graduates’ expertise in business strategy, climate science, and applied analytics. It is designed for early-career students with 0–2 years of professional experience who are eager to lead at the intersection of business and environmental impact.

Hear more from the Nicholas School’s Stanback Dean Lori Bennear and Fuqua’s Interim Dean Mary Frances Luce in this video. The evolution of this exciting new degree can be traced back to the early investments from donors in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Nicholas School.
