Sustainability Courses

Courses marked with a green leaf symbol are a part of CSU, Chico's devotion to sustainability practices and education. These green courses emphasize environmentally responsible awareness and learning.

A list of student learning outcomes were developed by an interdisciplinary faculty learning community identifying key issues of sustainability and these were used to evaluate courses requesting a sustainability course designation in the campus catalog. The process included the submission of a course syllabus and detailed description of how the instruction substantially addressed a minimum of 3 of the learning outcomes. Evaluation of the submissions is conducted by a Education and Research subcommittee of the Campus Sustainability Committee


Does the institution designate sustainability courses on student transcripts?:
No
