Introducing the Master of Climate Solutions

Rausser College is excited to announce the launch of the Master of Climate Solutions (MCS), a new professional program designed to empower the next generation of climate and sustainability leaders. Led by world-renowned faculty and experts, the 10-month, in-person program translates fundamental science and groundbreaking discoveries for professionals, enabling them to evaluate new and emerging technologies, develop just climate strategies, and overcome barriers to implementing practical climate solutions.

Students can select a climate strategy and management track, a climate policy and politics track, or a self-designed emphasis. The program links students to partner organizations across business, government, and the non-profit sector through a year-long capstone program. 

Through a concurrent degree option, students can earn both the MCS and an MBA from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business in only five semesters. Applications for the first MBA/MCS cohort are open now through March 28, 2024. 

Applications for the standalone MCS program will open in September, with a first cohort beginning coursework in fall 2025.
