This was an incredible opportunity to gain new knowledge and skills in this major field of Corporate Sustainability, and I am truly grateful! This was the best e-learning path I've ever taken. Everything was there: the theories and fundamentals with the readings, the practice sets with the prestigious guests' interviews, the "learning by doing" philosophy with exercises, peer reviews, threads, and the final project. Most importantly, what stood our was the leadership from professor Tensie Whelan through lectures, videos with animation, and our class discussions during meet-ups.

Professor Whelan's course is excellent and great value! As an older career relauncher who wanted to break t into Sustainability, I needed to learn about the space. However, I didn't want to spend a $30-40k on a second master's degree. The class taught me valuable tools and concepts that I was able to use successfully in job interviews. The class format -- a combination of project-based work and case studies -- is practical and engaging. I used my final project to demonstrate to potential employers that I had mastery of the subject. Finally, I appreciate that Whelan brings a combination of real-life experience (as the former Executive Director of the Rainforest Alliance) and academic research.

The course gives a comprehensive overview of key topics within corporate sustainability and is enriched with examples in the form of case studies and video recorded interviews with leading practitioners and experts in the field.
This course is great for experienced professionals who want an overview of corporate sustainability or are looking for a career change. For those starting their careers or looking for a career change, this is a great intro step to then further explore a specific area.
Although an online course, there are plenty of opportunities to have exchanges with other students and with the professor and the team is great!

I found the corporate Sustainability course at NYU Stern surprisingly good. This is because the curriculum was designed comprehensively, Prof Whelan"s on-line video meetings and recordings helped clarify concepts and enhance understanding. The exercise at the end of every lesson and final project, forum discussion and peer review were good to test the understanding. Finally, the online navigation was superb. My experience was better than anticipated for an on-line course.

I spent a bit of time researching on-line courses on Sustainability. I was looking for a course that would give me a broad understanding of the topic and NYU Stern delivered on its commitment to cover the field with good material and a stepped approach to learning about the topic. I liked that the weekly assignments built up to the final project. The content and the video interviews with experts were excellent. It was great to have people doing the course from all around the world but due to time zones I could not attend many of the forums in person but I watched all the recordings. For anyone interested in the topic but doesn't know where to start or is pigeon-holed in one area of sustainability, this course is perfect.
