The University of Maine requires all undergraduate students to complete a general education program. The stated goal of this program is “to ensure that all of its graduates, regardless of the academic major they pursued, are broadly educated persons who can appreciate the achievements of civilization, understand the tensions within it, and contribute to resolving them” (University of Maine Course Catalog). As part of this program, each student is required to complete 18 credits within the Human Values and Social Contexts area. One course must be taken within each of five subcategories described in the attached additional documentation file, "UMaine Sustainability Learning Outcomes Description". Together, the learning outcomes of the Human Values and Social Contexts areas address sustainability through the integration of social, economic, and environmental dimensions.
