A list of the institution level sustainability learning outcomes:
The general education component of an Emory undergraduate education from the College of Arts & Sciences is organized to present an array of intellectual approaches and perspectives as ways of learning rather than a prescribed body of content. Its purposes are to develop students’ competencies in the skills and methods of writing, quantitative methods, a second language, and physical education; to acquaint students with methodologies that characterize the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences as the three broad divisions of learning in the arts and sciences; to deepen students’ perspectives on national, regional, and global history and culture, and to give every student some exposure to an interactive seminar experience. These purposes are met by a student’s choosing from a range of individual courses within a clearly defined framework. GERs for the reporting period are below:
* First-Year Seminar Classes (FSEM) Courses - Area I
* First-Year Writing Requirement (FWRT) Courses - Area II
* Continuing Writing (WRT) Courses - Area III
* Math & Quantitative Reasoning (MQR) Courses - Area IV
* Science, Nature, Technology (SNT) Courses - Area V
* History, Society, Cultures (HSC) Courses - Area VI
* Humanities, Arts, Performance (HAP) Courses - Area VII
* Humanities, Arts, Language (HAL) Courses - Area VII
* Personal Health (HTH) Courses - Area VIII
* Physical Education and Dance (PED) Courses - Area IX
Courses within the Science, Nature, Technology; and History, Society, Cultures GERs are majority "sustainability-focused" with some "sustainability-supportive" courses as well.
