Virtual Launch Event: Global Certificate in Social Enterprise and Leading Change
Thursday, April 20, 2023
8:00 am – 10:00 am EDT/GMT-4 Online Event
In partnership with Bard College's MBA in Sustainabilty, OSUN is launching a new global certificate program focused on delivering worldwide education for enterprise solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. The virtual launch conference for the Global Certificate in Social Enterprise + Leading Change takes place on April 20 in conjunction with an in-person event in New York City.
Since 2020, Bard’s MBA in Sustainability has been combining the scalability of an interactive, synchronous global classroom with high-touch engagement of local co-instructors. At the conference, faculty who are teaching in the program from Palestine, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Kyrgyzstan, the US and other countries will focus on how to bring the power of the Global Certificate to local universities--- and to tens of thousands of students worldwide.
The Certificate adapts three key courses from the Bard MBA for a global audience, graduate or undergraduate: Principles of Sustainable Enterprise; Social Entrepreneurship; and Leading Change in Organizations. While these all began as MBA courses, the Certificate program now provides a minor in social enterprise for all majors—from art and design to zoology. All three courses are centered around project-based learning, supported by close interaction with co-instructor faculty at the participating universities.
