Does the institution offer at least one immersive, sustainability-focused educational study program that meets the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
The School of Business teaches a triple bottom line (3BL) approach to sustainability through its Sustainable Enterprise Accelerator, in which students typically work in teams with local businesses for summer internship experiences. The 3BL approach emphasizes the importance of people and the planet as well as profit as important performance metrics that successful businesses must recognize. This allows the student to immerse themselves in sustainable-business practices and provides the student with a hands-on experience that integrates sustainability and its business component together.
Immersive, sustainability-focused educational study programs are also offered to four graduate assistants and student volunteers at the 70.8 acre The Robert A. Macoskey Center for Sustainable Systems Education and Research Center.
