We review our curriculum on a semester-by-semester basis to ensure that our students are ahead of trends and new developments so that they are well positioned to provide value in the public, private, and non profit sectors through meaningful sustainability careers. We stay on the forefront of sustainability by leveraging our extensive partnership network on the Front Range of Colorado and beyond, and by bringing faculty into the classroom that are practicing industry professionals with decades of experience to provide students with real-time insights into their work.

Our Capstone Program is a key differentiator amongst our peers. Student teams partner with public, private, and non profit organizations to address sustainability and climate challenges. Over 12 months, students design and implement impactful solutions such as sustainability and resilience plans, toolkits and best practices for industry, policy recommendations, and others. The Capstone Project is completed during the MENV program, and is a consulting experience that allows students to develop and practice technical and leadership skills, while also expanding their professional networks. All of this sets them up to be competitive for a successful career in sustainability.

As a professional graduate program that is focused on applied and experiential learning, we intentionally create a bridge between the classroom and the real world. Our students learn from sustainability professionals and academic experts, partner with organizations of all sizes through impactful projects, and build invaluable skills and networks that support their sustainability careers. 

MENV’s dedicated Career Services team empowers students to turn their passion for sustainability into purpose-driven careers. Through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and networking events, students receive personalized support in career exploration, résumé and interview preparation, and professional branding. The team also connects students with employers and alumni across diverse sectors, helping them build meaningful relationships and successfully transition into impactful sustainability roles after graduation.
