A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability in the curriculum?:
Many of our sustainability-focused or related courses are considered to fulfill our environmental literacy requirement. Environmental Literacy Courses have primary learning goals in which students, through multiple opportunities and classroom instruction, develop: a broad understanding of how people and societies relate to each other and to natural systems and how they might do so with minimal adverse impact, and/or a recognition of the consequences of human activities on natural systems and/or an understanding of the impacts that changes in natural systems can have on human life, health and welfare, and/or an awareness of the cultural, economic and political forces that affect environmental policies.
None
Has the institution identified its sustainability-focused and sustainability-related course offerings?:
Yes
None
