In this novel program, we combine a traditional business core with 40-plus hours of environmental studies electives, ensuring that students understand the triple bottom line of people—planet—profits. The business and environmental studies degree is suited for students who want a well-rounded business experience complemented with rigorous environmental thought. Graduates seek business careers that sustain the natural environment and value social, environmental, and cultural diversity.

Begin Specializing In Your Sophomore Year

Whether you want to be a manager of natural resources, be a leader in environmental advocacy, or start the next green business, a business and environmental studies degree from Florida Tech develops a strong background in business with experience in modern problem-solving strategies and best practices.

Our business and environmental studies program is dynamic and focused. You’ll start with core courses such as Global Business Perspectives and the Whole Earth Course in your first year. Guided by highly qualified faculty who care about your success, you’ll hone your strengths and begin specializing early in your studies.

Gain Practical Experience

As a senior, you’ll complete the practicum in business, a professional internship course in which you apply your business skills and savvy within a dynamic local company. This practical experience provides you with an expanded professional network, and perhaps even a pre-graduation job offer.

The Student Business Incubator (SBI) Practicum is another avenue for business and environmental studies students to explore business startups. The SBI is a living, breathing center for new venture creation.

The incubator combines curriculum, facilities, and expertise to fully immerse students in a semester long Lean LaunchPad program. This business-launching “boot camp” pushes students to speak to customers, vendors, and strategic partners as they gather resources, develop business models, and launch their businesses. You are paired with highly skilled executive entrepreneurs who help you develop prototypes, raise venture capital, and become a successful entrepreneur.

Students who showcase innovative business ideas may be asked to join the Student Business Incubator. This program provides necessary resources and guidance to nurture student business ideas into real business ventures. Through critical thinking and innovation, students have the chance to experience business outside of the classroom and business administration internships.
