You may have heard – green is in! It seems everyone is concerned about climate issues and global warming. And as the idea of green and sustainable energy catches on, the rate of job opportunities for people who are experts in this field will go up. This includes people who are knowledgeable about green business practices.

It is with this in mind that University of Phoenix decided to offer a brand new business degree concentration - Bachelor of Science in Business with a Concentration in Green and Sustainable Enterprise Management. Students who enroll in this program will gain expertise in business operations, as well as sustainable business practices.

For instance, one of the classes, Green and Sustainable Enterprise Management, focuses on balancing environmental corporate responsibility with keeping an eye on the “bottom line.” Another course, Sustainable Enterprise Planning, teaches students how to create a business plan that takes into account environmental science and economics. Other green classes include Environmental Economics and Green Marketing.

Even while concentrating on sustainability, this degree does not skimp on the useful business foundation classes that you will need to succeed. Their course, Critical Thinking: Strategies in Decision Making, teaches students how to be managers who make sound decisions and have creative problem solving skills. Principles of Economics is another class in this program where students learn how to perform economic analysis.

Whether your aim is to be a manager who can offer the unique capability of considering sustainability in their business practices, or if you would like to be a consultant who helps businesses turn green, this degree is a great choice.
