Whether you’re aiming for a career directly tied to sustainability or looking to bring sustainable thinking into a more traditional business role, we’re here to help you chart your unique path.
There’s no single route to a sustainability-focused career—your journey will reflect your individual interests, values, and goals. That’s why we encourage students to explore the functional areas and industries that inspire them most. Whether you pursue opportunities through the structured MBA recruiting process or take a more independent approach, our team is here to guide and support you.
Johnson MBA students interested in sustainability follow a wide range of career paths. Some dive straight into roles with a clear sustainability focus, while others enter conventional business sectors, confident that their sustainability knowledge will become increasingly relevant throughout their careers.
