An inventory of the institution's course offerings with sustainability content (and course descriptions):
The UMD Liberal Education Requirement focuses on preparing students to become engaged global citizens. Students are required to take courses outside of their concentration and, in the Fall of 2012, Sustainability was added as an area of emphasis to the liberal education requirement. Courses that meet this Sustainability Lib Ed Requirement are considered "sustainability courses."
The University of Minnesota-Duluth offers courses, throughout various departments, that relate to sustainability. Educating students about sustainability is a theme in a variety of courses offered by the university, and we include these as "courses that include sustainability."
