A list of the institution level sustainability learning outcomes:
SF State has a general education requirement "SF State Studies" in which students earning baccalaureate degrees must complete 4 courses that are designated as focusing on environmental sustainability, social justice, global perspectives, and American Ethnic and Racial Minorities. To be certified by the Baccalaureate Requirements Committee as meeting the SF State Studies requirement the course must meet the following student learning outcomes:
-Analyze how the well-being of human society is dependent on ecosystems and the materials and services they provide to humanity. Explain the interconnectivity of economic prosperity, social equity and environmental quality. Identify the most serious environmental problems globally and locally and explain their underlying causes and possible consequences.
-Present views of one or more groups of American Ethnic and Racial Minorities both from the perspective of the group and as an integral part of American society; encourage the study of values, attitudes, behaviors and/or creative endeavors that acknowledge and respect the dignity of all groups; and present a thorough analysis of the historical experiences, social stratification processes, political activism, basic cultural patterns, aesthetic experiences and/or ideologies, and include one or more of the oppressed groups of color.
-Examine topics that are global in scope (i.e., that involve different parts of the world), and must compare and contrast human experiences and perspectives, whether in the present or the past.
-Address social constructions of identity, hierarchy, power, and privilege; community resistance and empowerment; and social justice. The social constructions may be related to variations among humans, including such factors as abilities, ages, cultures, genders, geographic locations, histories, immigration statuses, languages, national and ethnic identities, racializations, religions, sexualities, and socio-economic classes.
