Alumni Profile
The Master's degree in Environmental Management intends to form leaders who, besides understanding the nature of major socio-environmental challenges and the companies and organizations in the Andean-Amazonian region, will have the capacity of facing those problems and turning them into opportunities for the development of their own organizations.
The program intends to prepare directors and leaders of organizations engaged in environmental protection and preservation, to obtain the tools and managerial abilities necessary to achieve a more significant impact and better results.
The definition and implementation of strategies within their organizations is fundamental for them to achieve sustainable development: from an environmental standpoint, in the access and use of natural resources; socially, in relation with all their stakeholders; politically and culturally, through participation, respect and appreciation of diversity; and economically, through the generation of necessary income to exist, grow and continuously innovate.
