Fourteen "divisions" offer courses on the six campuses of Valencia College. These are combined differently related to the size of the campuses, in some cases having official departments beneath the divisions and in other cases not. The following are the 14 divisions (departments): Allied Health Division; Architecture, Engineering & Technology Division; Arts & Entertainment Division; Business Administration; Business, Behavioral & Social Sciences Division; Business, Information Technology & Social Sciences; Communications Division; Fine Arts Division; Humanities & Foreign Language Division; Mathematics; Nursing Division; Science Division; Social Sciences & Physical Education Division, and Curriculum and Articulation. This inventory of departments offering Sustainability-focused or Sustainability-related courses can serve as a baseline, as this fall 2012 we begin the effort to infuse Sustainability Across the Curriculum, with our first 2-day Faculty Development workshop.
