Sustainability in the curriculum at Santa Clara University means continuing and advancing Santa Clara’s commitment to fostering a humane and just world through learning related to environmental protection, economic development, equity, and equality. Courses in all three areas of Santa Clara’s Core Curriculum (Foundations, Explorations, and Integrations) offer students learning opportunities focused on the concept of sustainability and learning opportunities in which sustainability is a distinct component of a course with a broader focus.
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:
Course taught in 2009-10 were identified as related to or focused on sustainability one of two ways: 1) faculty responded to a survey stating whether the courses they taught in AY 2009-10 were related to or focused on sustainability, and 2) the University core curriculum Foundations, Explorations, Integrations, and Pathways are themed. Courses listed in themes associated with sustainability were identified as either related to or focused on sustainability based on their course name and course description.
