Graduate Programs

andaluz

Hi everyone. I dont post here often but I enjoy the threads quite a bit.

I wonder if I can solicit some advice.

I already have a degree in architecture and have been working in an office for a few years now. I want to pursue a graduate degree in design, and especially sustainability, but coming from a business perspective.

I am not looking to spend much more time than I already have, or have to, in a design studio... I've done that for 4 years already and that is not the type of education I am seeking now.

Ideally (and this is a total pipe dream) I would have the design and business acumen to one day start or be heavily involved in some type of multidisciplinary design firm.

Any suggestions on specifically what programs/degrees to explore?

From what I have researched so far, there appears to be MBA's out there that say they "focus" on sustainability but Im not how valid that claim is.

Some programs in Berkeley's GSD seem interesting.

Much thanks.
