STARS v3.0

Amherst College
IL-4: Sustainability Course Designation

Status Score Responsible Party
n/a 0.00 /

Criteria

An institution earns 1 bonus point when it formally designates sustainability course offerings from multiple academic departments or units in its official course catalog or listing. 

Measurement

Report on current policies and practices. 

The designation might take the form of an identifying symbol or code to help students distinguish sustainability courses from other courses (e.g., a sustainability filter in an online catalog or a sustainability tag in a printed catalog). Identification of courses offered by a sustainability-focused academic subdivision (e.g., courses offered by a Sustainability Studies department and denoted with a “SUST” prefix) is not sufficient in the absence of course-level designations that encompass courses offered by multiple departments or units.


Applicability

This credit is optional.
