Mariana Chapouto Lopes is a dual-degree student, pursuing both a Master of Science (MS) from the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from U-M’s Ross School of Business. But this was not her original plan. When first considering graduate schools, Lopes, who is from São Paulo, Brazil, notes she was “not originally thinking about an MBA.” It turns out, a business degree focused on sustainability “is exactly what I wanted and exactly what I needed,” she said.
