The Master of Arts in Sustainability Leadership (MSL) is an interdisciplinary degree program that examines how organizational decision-making and activities impact society, the environment, and the organizations’ own prosperity – or the triple-bottom line of the new economy: people, planet, and profit.
The CLU MSL is a 13-month program for full-time students. That’s faster than most and it puts our students out where they belong: Working as mission driven leaders.
The program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed in the areas of development, the natural world, and corporate responsibility leadership, to assess and effectively lead socially responsible organizational initiatives.
The jobs are there. There is an expected high employment growth rate in fields asking for MSLs.
The network is there. CLU MSL grads will enter the workforce with the confidence that they have support out in the world.
CLU Founder David Colvill Lincoln (1925-2018) was grounded in the principles of The Golden Rule and ethical practices. A Caltech-trained engineer, successful businessman, and philanthropist, David inspired others by practicing compassion and respect in every endeavor. His philanthropic vision for CLU was a graduate university designed to power positive social change.
David Lincoln’s father, John C Lincoln, founded what is now the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in 1946 to help communities use land in ways that promote fairness, strengthen public services, and create opportunities for everyone to thrive.
The internationally known and respected Lincoln Institute of Land Policy has joined with CLU to engage students with real-world cases and cross-sector answers for current societal issues. This partnership will offer the opportunity to learn from proven land policy and usage experts. Solutions to the housing crisis, rising inequality, local budget shortages, and climate change are examples of the issues that will be tackled in a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground, manner.
