The Bren School's flagship: two years, seven specializations and a client-facing group project in which teams of 4-5 students solve a real environmental problem for a real organisation — or build one, via the Eco-Entrepreneurship track. Bren publishes its network's pull openly: over 70% of graduates land their first job through a Bren School contact, and nearly 100% of MESM students complete a summer internship between the two years.
