Sustainable Business & Global Integrative Healthcare
About
We believe that all businesses should focus on the triple bottom line – people, the planet, and profits.
The mission of the American College of Healthcare Sciences Business Department is to foster a holistic, integrative approach to business in support of more sustainable practices for entrepreneurs and those in large, multinational, public, private, and nonprofit corporations.
We prepare students to recognize and make decisions based on the interconnectedness that exists between organizational actions and the financial, environmental, and social well-being of our complex and dynamic global society.
We achieve this by integrating our commitment to sustainability into all aspects of our learning community, developing programs that reflect values, quality, rigor, and relevance, and making business education an accessible, positive, and valuable experience for students.
