Student Opportunities
Our students get hands-on experience working with faculty and industry leaders to champion socially and environmentally responsible business practices.
Change How the World Does Business
At the Business Sustainability Collaborative (BSC), we bring together students with a passion for social and environmental issues and train them to become tomorrow’s sustainability leaders. Here, students learn to make business decisions that benefit our workforce, our communities and our environment — without sacrificing financial success.
The BSC works closely with faculty to integrate sustainability into core, elective and project-based courses within the Poole College of Management. You’ll develop the skills you need to drive sustainable business practices through the application of research, technology and critical thinking. And you’ll team up with industry leaders to turn your knowledge into real-world solutions with social, environmental and financial impact.
No matter what you study — or where you study — we’ve got the resources to prepare you for a successful career with a sustainable focus. Students across all majors are encouraged to take BSC courses or get involved with our initiatives, and programs like our innovative B Corp Clinic are open to partner universities throughout North Carolina.
30+ BSC Associates
The backbone of the BSC has been built since 2014 to today by our BSC Associates. These are students from various disciplines across campus all with a passion for business sustainability.
