Study Environmental Management and Business at King's
It is becoming increasingly important for business leaders to consider environmental impacts when making business decisions. As the need for better environmental stewardship and taking actionable steps to address climate change becomes evident, a growing number of students want to combine their passion for environmental issues with good business practices. This concentration lets you pursue both. In addition to selecting courses that prepare students to make sustainable business decisions, students in the Environmental Management concentration are encouraged to take Environmental Studies and Geography courses that explore questions and problems related to environmental sustainability.
Students in this concentration can expect to be prepared for work in areas of environmental planning, global development and other careers related to Christian ministry or justice issues.

Every student is assigned a faculty advisor when they pay their tuition deposit to help with course selection throughout their program.
