Assessment statement included in the course catalog: "As part of our continuing effort to improve curriculum and the delivery of instruction, we assess students both within their majors and in their general education. You are expected to participate in this assessment process." UWSP graduates acquire a foundation of knowledge from the following areas pertaining to sustainability as part of their general degree requirements: Natural Science (NS) provides a broad understanding of the pure sciences and exposure to scientific methods for evaluating evidence from the natural world and shows how science relates to individuals and/or society at large. Critical Thinking/Cultural Awareness Non-Western (NW) courses study peoples, countries, or regions that differ in fundamental ways from Western tradition and examine political, economic, intellectual, ethical and cultural values and structures that offer alternative approaches to these areas of human organization. Minority Studies (MNS) courses consider the culture and history of various racial and ethnic groups such as African-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, and Native American and the historical or cultural relationships between them and the white majority culture in the United States. History (HI) provides an appreciation of human behavior and heritage over time and an understanding of the nature, development and interaction of cultures, societies, and civilizations. Environmental Literacy (EL) investigates the ways human societies interact with and affect the natural and biophysical environment. IMPORTANT: UWSP's general degree requirements have been reviewed and in 2012. A new section of GDRs will include "Cultural & Environmental Awareness". Students are required to complete a course in Global Awareness, US Diversity and Environmental Responsibility. Revised Program Outcomes: The General Education Program seeks to develop these qualities of global citizenship in four distinct ways. After completing the general education curriculum, students will: • Demonstrate critical thinking, quantitative, and communication skills necessary to succeed in a rapidly changing global society. • Demonstrate broad knowledge of the physical, social, and cultural worlds as well as the methods by which this knowledge is produced. • Recognize that responsible global citizenship involves personal accountability, social equity, and environmental sustainability. • Apply their knowledge and skills, working in interdisciplinary ways to solve problems.
