With world-wide recognition and an expansive alumni network to match, an MBA from The University of Texas at Austin is designed to develop influential business leaders. From the world- class faculty to a tight-knit community, what starts on campus is truly changing the world, one graduate at a time. Students aspiring to social or environmental pursuits gain the benefit of living and studying in Austin, America’s clean-tech hub, but the advantages don’t stop there. The program’s CleanTech concentration connects students with Austin’s booming clean tech industry through the Clean Energy Incubator, as well as a variety additional of on- and off-campus opportunities.
McCombs continues to develop curriculum that focuses on and integrates social or environmental topics. John Doggett’s Management Sustainability Practicum is a popular spring course, and Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility is popular in the fall. Students have a great deal of flexibility to enroll in courses outside of the business school to take advantage of the breadth of course offerings in other graduate schools at the University of Texas, including the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and the School of Architecture, which hosts a portfolio program in sustainability open to MBA students.
McCombs offers extensive opportunities for experiential learning, including a very strong Board Fellows Program for students to sit on the Board of Directors of local nonprofit organizations. Although McCombs could vastly expand its course offerings and focus on social and environmental topics, the program office and faculty are very open to students’ feedback and their initiative to source and lead projects in their areas of interest. In fact, students drive much of the effort to provide opportunities for their peers to learn about and gain experiences in social enterprise and sustainability within the context of business. The program has shown an increasing focus on social enterprise, with a number of classes, competitions, and fellowships offered that enable impact-oriented students to take advantage of the strong entrepreneurship thought leadership at McCombs.

Although a minority of students are focused primarily on social and environmental impact, those that are have created a strong network of peers, alumni, and professionals within the Austin community with whom to partner on a wide variety of activities. The Net Impact Chapter leads a busy calendar of events, including sustainability-focused panels and networking events with the Austin Net Impact Professional Chapter, career-focused events with alumni and other professionals who have successfully navigated social or environmental impact careers, community-service events, and an annual Sustainable Business and Social Innovation Summit.
Additionally, the Net Impact Chapter helps connect students to existing opportunities at the University of Texas and in the greater Austin community, including Dell Social Innovation Challenge, SWSWedu,
SWSXeco, RISE Week, and the Energy Forum. McCombs also boasts active student organizations focused in different areas of impact, such as Board Fellows, Clean Tech, Health Care, and Entrepreneurship. Net Impact also sends out a biweekly newsletter to promote upcoming events and provide students with a listing of job opportunities in impact careers.
Career Management at McCombs is highly personalized and invested in the success of each student. Although on-campus recruiting for impact jobs is fairly minimal, the Career Management office provides students with regular listings of companies, many of whom fall within the social or environmental sphere. McCombs advisors work with individual students to define their specific interest within impact careers, to facilitate networking within those areas, and to connect students to active Texas MBA alumni within relevant sectors.
Career Management recently brought in an impact career consultant to meet with students both individually and in a group workshop. Two career advisors also accompanied students to the 2013 Net Impact Conference and will be joining students again for the 2014 conference. Career Management is most developed in the area of Clean Tech because of McCombs’s geographic location (Texas) and its strong focus on energy through both renewables and traditional sources. Net Impact organizes a variety of events to expose students to impact careers and provide access to companies and individuals who focus in these areas.
