As part of our continuing efforts to enable our students to meet the evolving needs of today’s business world, UCLA Anderson has added a specialization in social impact to the curriculum. UCLA Anderson currently offers a variety of specializations, including those in accounting, brand management, corporate finance, entertainment and entrepreneurship, among others.
The specialization in social impact enables students to build in-depth expertise in mission-driven businesses, while customizing their academic preparation toward leadership in endeavors aimed at transformational social change.
“Today’s world calls for a more holistic approach to business, as customers demand more transparency and social responsibility from the companies they engage with,” said Professor of Finance Bhagwan Chowdhry, who led the creation of the new specialization. “As young professionals strive to make a positive impact through their careers, they’ll need to navigate the blurred lines between traditional for-profit business and the social sector and the rise of benefit and flexible-purpose corporations.”
Social Innovation Week returns to UCLA Anderson April 18–21 under the theme Ignite Impact
That's great! As a company dealing with innovation management in large-scale enterprizes, we're glad to hear that the academia also recognizes the importance of this field of expertise.
