All of these departments contain and/or require classes that are either sustainability focused or sustainability related. The sustainability learning outcomes for one class, as an example, International Environmental Policy, are: Develop an understanding of how nations and international organizations have governed the use of natural resources including water, land, forests, and the global climate over the past century; Explore complementarities and tradeoffs among local and community-based approaches to environmental governance and global and/or state-based approaches to environmental governance; Articulate the environmental justice implications of global, national, and local resource management regimes; Hone analytical and writing skills through readings and assignments assessing the effectiveness of current and proposed policies to resolve major environmental problems.

Our number of graduates counts each major and minor separately, so several students are counted more than once since many have majors and minors.
