We have two sustainability degrees: 1) Associate of Applied Science - Transfer degree in Environmental Technologies and Sustainable Practices; and 2) Bachelor of Applied Science in Sustainable Practices. Both of these degrees have specific sustainability learning outcomes including: • Understand patterns and make connections among different disciplines and schools of knowledge and to integrate studies with personal experience • Learn actively and gain comprehensive understanding; to think critically, creatively, and reflectively in order to solve problems; to communicate with clarity and originality for personal growth and productive work; and to interact in diverse and complex environments and complicated, dynamic, and ambiguous situations • Address savings and spending using terms and tools applicable in the commercial arena • Design and execute environmentally sensitive and sustainable practices * Systems Thinking Competence is the ability to collectively analyze complex systems across different domains (society, environment, and the economy etc.) and across different scales (local to global). * Interpersonal Competence is the ability to motivate, enable and facilitate collaborative and participatory sustainability research and problem solving. * Anticipatory Competence is the ability to collectively analyze, evaluate, and craft rich ‘pictures’ of the future related to sustainability issues and sustainability problem-solving frameworks. * Strategic Competence is the ability to collectively design and implement interventions, transitions, and transformative governance strategies toward sustainability. * Normative Competence is the ability to collectively map, specify, apply, reconcile, and negotiate sustainability values, principles, goals, and targets.
