This fall, the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas will launch its new Sustainability Leadership program to train business and nonprofit executives to lead environmental organizations. The program begins Sept. 14 and is offered through UT’s Texas Executive Education center in a nine- or 12-month model. The program is open to those with at least 10 years of work experience, and it costs $16,000 to $18,000. Participants will complete 18 weeks of core modules on sustainability in business, sustainability leadership and success measurement, followed by 12 weeks of web-based elective courses and a capstone project to create a business case for a sustainability initiative.
