Please refer to the uploaded file below for more details on the sustainability learning outcomes offered at the course level. This list also includes the number of degrees awarded for programs that require sustainability focused courses.

To identify these programs, all required courses in each program were examined. A program was then classified as having a sustainability learning outcome if it required the completion of at least sustainability focused course. These courses have syllabi that explicitly state learning objectives pertaining to environmental, social, and/or economic sustainability.
