We don’t just tack sustainability on as an elective, because in today's world – it's not an option. Each course is taught through a sustainability lens that trains students to see in systems – not just words and numbers. An understanding of how everything is connected is a Presidian super power.
We work hard at creating a true learning community. Our faculty and student body believe that intractable problems only get solved through mindshare. Class time includes workshop exercises, dyads, quick fire sessions, dialogue, and lectures.
Most humans learn best by practicing what they're taught, not by listening to lectures or reading books (well not only books). Our Experiential Learning program has our students working on real-world planning projects for real companies making a real impact. This is part of 360 degree academics, the holistic learning experience.
MBA
Our MBA curriculum weaves rigorous management theory and practice with ecological and social awareness, systems thinking and sustainable leadership together to empower our students to become effective leaders, change agents and entrepreneurs.
MPA
Our Master of Public Administration (MPA) is not your traditional MPA. Our program prepares our students with the confidence and competencies to shift policy, implement programs, and transform public management in ways that not only improve organizational performance but create broader positive social impact.
There is a unique "bilingualism" of the dual degree. The public and private sectors often don't understand the "language" used or the way in which the other operates. Duals are trained in both and can easily find the intersections of commonality that facilitate progress. Especially with public-private partnerships on the rise, this skill is becoming increasingly invaluable.
