EN-7: Continuing Education

7.1 Continuing education offerings in sustainability

An institution earns 3 points when it has at least one continuing education course or education program that is sustainability-focused. Partial points are available. An institution that does not have a sustainability-focused continuing education offering, but does have at least one continuing education offering that incorporates sustainability content or addresses a sustainability challenge earns 1.5 points.

Measurement

Report on the current status of the institution’s continuing education offerings, i.e., courses and education programs that are targeted to community members who are not otherwise enrolled as students (e.g., working people seeking further education or professional credentials). This may include offerings that are targeted to both students enrolled for credit and community members. 

To qualify as sustainability focused, the primary focus of the course or program must be on either the concept of sustainability or the interdependence of ecological and social/cultural/economic systems. This focus must be evidenced by its published title and/or description, either explicitly (e.g., “Introduction to Sustainability”) or implicitly, by addressing a sustainability challenge using a systems approach (e.g., “Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security”).

Applicable to all institutions.
