Sustainability Courses

Incorporated in 鶹ýӳ’s STARS submission was an inventory of academic offerings. The inventory identifies “sustainability courses” and “courses that include sustainability.” Such a list assists in bringing awareness to these course offerings and helps current and prospective students organize their academic studies. Additionally, such an inventory provides an important foundation for advancing sustainability integration in curriculum at 鶹ýӳ.

Sustainability Courses

Sustainability courses are courses in which the primary and explicit focus is on sustainability and/or on understanding or solving one or more major sustainability challenge (e.g. the course contributes toward achieving principles outlined in the Earth Charter).

To produce a comprehensive list of sustainability courses, the Office of Sustainability reviewed a list of offered courses from the 2013-2014 academic year and conducted a preliminary analysis of which courses were about or included sustainability by reviewing their formal course descriptions.

These courses were categorized by department and then sent out to the Chairs of each department for review. The Chairs reviewed the course lists to assert the courses listed were either related to sustainability or not. The Chairs also added courses that were not already on the list. Specific professors were contacted, when necessary, and asked to provide an indication of how courses were related to sustainability if it was not obvious from the formal course description.
