What is a Sustainability Related Course/Section?
A Sustainability Related Course, or a particular Section of a course, is a course where the instructor has committed to tie the course content to sustainability issues. This Course/Section has been documented through a process developed by the Academic Sustainability Team (AST). A sustainability related course is further defined as a course that incorporates sustainability as a distinct course module, or concentrates on a single aspect of the three pillars of sustainability; environmental, social, or economic.
Has the institution identified its sustainability-focused and sustainability-related course offerings?:
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
The Academic Sustainability Team (AST), with faculty representatives from all the academic divsions, developed a process by which faculty document the sustainability level of their courses.
An important achievement was the ability of individual course sections to be tagged as sustainability course/sections. This allowed an individual faculty member to teach a sustainability-related course without requiring all faculty to teach the course in this manner. This is particularily important to faculty teaching in math and english. The documented course/sections receive a tag in the course schedule which becomes visable to all students and links them to the sustainability webpage for further information and a complete list of sustainability courses. This tag also becomes part of the students transcript and can be identified in a graduation audit.
Does the institution make its sustainability course inventory publicly available online?:
