Of the thirteen courses, ten courses will be in the field of Sustainability and three courses will draw from foundational courses in a diverse array of majors across the College (negotiated in advance with these majors), which will ground students in foundational knowledge in a disciplinary field of their choice. Of the other ten Sustainability courses, eight courses will provide students a foundational\u00a0understanding of Sustainability as a trans-disciplinary field, drawing on courses from the School of Business, the School of Theoretical and Applied Science and the School of Social Science and Human Services (four of the courses offered are preexisting\u00a0courses, and the rest are built with a focus on trans-disciplinary methods of inquiry). The additional two courses are capstone courses, which will showcase trans-disciplinary engagement with pressing social, ecological and economic issues of our time, at the global, national and local levels.<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary ecological, economic, and social crises represent unprecedented challenges and opportunities for the ways in which we interact with the ecosphere.\u00a0 Driven by increases in population, coupled with rapidly increasing per capita consumption rates, and the consequent contamination and degradation of natural capital and a disproportionate distribution of the burden on vulnerable communities, our current path is clearly unsustainable. As local governments, civic society, organizations and businesses increasingly recognize the need for alternative practices, individuals who can implement trans-disciplinary and integrative approaches are sorely needed to<br \/>\ngrapple with the problems of the Anthropocene (the term coined to describe our current geological age, the metaphor of our times; representing the environmental, economic, and cultural transformations wrought by humans on the ecosphere since the start of the\u00a0industrial revolution).\u00a0 This requires practitioners with substantial depth in some area of specialization and also, broadly trained in trans-disciplinary methodologies and with the habits of mind grounded in a systems approach, to address the intersection of human activities that are generating sustainability crises at unprecedented scales, and develop solutions that\u00a0integrate across normally siloed domains. The Sustainability Major takes an approach to Education for Sustainability (EfS) that clearly transcends disciplinary boundaries, while\u00a0being grounded in a systems approach to an equity-based nested-Triple Bottom Line model.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Outcomes for the Major <\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p><strong>Goal 1:<\/strong>\u00a0 Sustainability Literacy:\u00a0Students will acquire the knowledge and wisdom\u00a0to foster a sustainable world, with particular attention to an\u00a0trans-disiciplinary and holistic systems approach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Students will examine the complex and dynamic network of relationships that exist in <em>ecological systems, economic structures, and community dynamics<\/em>: appreciate that these relationships exist at the national, local and global levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 2:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Students will develop foundational knowledge of <em>theories of\u00a0sustainability<\/em> theories and its discourses, from the vantage of a systems approach to solving problems of sustainability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 3:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Students will critically <em>analyze public policy<\/em> settings at the global, national and local level, and apply it to policy making for sustainable communities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 4:\u00a0<\/strong>Students will gain expertise in understanding the integrative nature of Food, Energy and Water to arrive at an agenda for action through the use of a <em>Nexus approach<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 5:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Students will learn about leadership models for bringing change in varied and complex organizational settings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 6:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Students will explore and develop the complex set of skills and abilities needed for sustainable interventions and assessment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goal 2:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Methods and Practice of Sustainability<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 7:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Students will engage in systems perspective to address societal problems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 8:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Students will learn the technique of conducting multi-method\u00a0research design through training in qualitative and quantitative research methods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 9:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Students will show the ability to apply diverse methods and techniques to sustainability research so as to guide decision makers toward sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 10:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Students will practice the methods of participatory decision-making among stakeholders to achieve sustainability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 11:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Students will address an issue incorporating sustainability research methods and addressing the issue from a triple bottom line perspective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goal 3:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Critical Thinking &amp; Communication:\u00a0\u00a0Students will demonstrate an ability to critically acquire, analyze, synthesize and communicate information about sustainability\u2014in oral, written and electronic media formats\u2014to diverse audiences, so as to facilitate informed decision making.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 12:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 13:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Learn to address decision-making under complex situations and within complex organizations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 14:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Learn to apply sustainability to personal, professional and academic living experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Requirements of the Major <\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<ol>\n<li>Transfer students who have 48 or more credits accepted at the time of transfer are waived from the courses marked with a <strong>(W) <\/strong> below.
