Institution-wide learning outcomes that map to sustainability from the General Education course include the following:
• Under Life and Physical Sciences:
Learning Objective #5): Use current models and theories to describe, explain, or predict natural phenomena. (https://undergraduate.indianapolis.iu.edu/undergraduate-curricula/general-education/iupui-general-education-core/life-and-physical-sciences/index.html)
• Under Arts and Humanities:
Learning Objective #6): Develop arguments about forms of human agency or expression grounded in rational analysis and in an understanding of and respect for spatial, temporal, and cultural contexts. (https://undergraduate.indianapolis.iu.edu/undergraduate-curricula/general-education/iupui-general-education-core/arts-humanities/index.html) 
• Under Social Sciences:
Learning Objective #5): Recognize the extent and impact of diversity among individuals, cultures, or societies in contemporary or historical contexts
Learning Objective #6): Identify examples of how social, behavioral, or historical knowledge informs and can shape personal, ethical, civic, or global decisions and responsibilities (https://undergraduate.indianapolis.iu.edu/undergraduate-curricula/general-education/iupui-general-education-core/social-sciences/index.html)

The goal of the General Education requirements is that "Every student should leave IU with a broad knowledge of the social and natural world, an appreciation for the arts and humanities, a keen sense of self, an awareness of our membership in a global society, and an understanding of what it means to be thoughtful and responsible citizens of the community, state, and nation in which they live."

Core learning objectives, including those that map to sustainability listed in the question above, must be incorporated into every baccalaureate degree program in every college (2) and school (17) at IUPUI. IUPUI’s 2 colleges and 17 schools: iupui.edu/academics/schools.html

The IUPUI Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success (PLUS), which applies to all undergraduate programs, provide a framework of learning outcomes that every undergraduate student at IUPUI is expected to attain.
The Profiles will:
- Provide you with four major areas of knowledge and skills to prepare for a career, further education, community participation, and lifelong learning
- Offer you a unique education that incorporates campus values such as engaged learning, civic engagement, diversity, global learning, and other initiatives for which our campus is nationally recognized, including innovation, service learning, and civic engagement
- Give you opportunities to develop knowledge and skills that positively impact your engagement and well-being throughout your future career
- Enhance your learning both inside and outside of the classroom as well as through internships, student employment, research, study abroad, club leadership, theatre and performance, community-based projects, and many other opportunities on and near campus
- Prepare you with knowledge and skills that employers seek when recruiting future employees, not just for your first job, but for your entire career

One of the Profiles that maps to an integrated concept of sustainability is the following:

The IUPUI student is an active and valued contributor on the campus and in communities locally and globally. They are personally responsible, self-aware, civically engaged, and they look outward to understand the needs of the society and their environment. They are socially responsible, ethically oriented, and actively engaged in the work of building strong and inclusive communities, both local and global. The community contributor:
• Builds community
• Respectfully engages own and other cultures
• Behaves ethically
• Anticipates consequences

Review of all Graduates by Program level. UG Graduates were counted for specific programs that include the concept of sustainability as a learning outcome. The Graduate and Professional level programs that are included as defined in the following list of degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability. Reviewed all Programs by the API levels and further review by API/Plan levels to determine sust-focused programs. See attached documentation.
