Good news!

On May 8th, the Regents of the University of Minnesota approved a change to the name of the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Bioproducts Marketing and Management to Sustainable Systems Management, effective fall 2015.  These revisions to the major respond to scientific and technological advances, meet social needs and student interests, and align with the University’s Land Grant mission of developing the vocational, civic, and intellectual capacities of communities across the United States.

Sustainable Systems Management is a comprehensive systems approach to advancing sustainable solutions for the environment, processes and products, commercial and industrial businesses, buildings, and energy systems.  Students will have the opportunity to specialize in:

• Building Science and Technology
• Corporate Sustainability
• Energy Systems
• Sustainable Products and Business Management
