Does the institution offer one or more sustainability-focused minors, concentrations or certificates for undergraduate students?:
Name of the sustainability-focused undergraduate minor, concentration or certificate:
A brief description of the undergraduate minor, concentration or certificate:
The Minor in Sustainability Studies requires 15 semester hours. Minor students are required to take SUST 2000 Introduction to Sustainability or HONR 1027 Sustainability in the Modern World (= honors intro course), and SUST 5000 Senior Capstone in Sustainability. In addition, minor students take 9 hours (usually 3 courses of 3 credits each) of electives. At least 3 elective hours must be outside their major college, and 6 elective hours must be at the 3000 level or above. Minor students select among at least 30 approved elective classes that cover at least 2 of the 3 major systems in sustainability: economic, environmental, and social. All elective course credits must be completed before or concurrently with the capstone course. Students may take no more than one elective concurrently with the capstone, which is a projects-based course that is strongly recommended to be taken in the senior year.

Name of the sustainability-focused undergraduate minor, concentration or certificate (2nd program):
A brief description of the undergraduate minor, concentration or certificate (2nd program):
Requirements for the Community and Civic Engagement Minor (CCE) are 15 credit hours with a minimum of 9 credits at the 3000-level or higher. A 1-hour Capstone Course requires students to draw upon the knowledge obtained throughout their coursework, and to perform relevant service projects. Students must have completed 15 credits toward a Minor in Community and Civic Engagement prior to enrollment in this course. The one-hour credit given for the completion of the capstone does not apply to the published number of credit hours required for completion of the Minor in CCE. Students must take at least one course from each of the four CCE categories (Context; Public Issue; Public Skills, Tools, & Methods; and Service Learning), and the additional course may be taken in any of the four categories. A list of all CCE courses is listed on the minor website. Courses taken in fulfillment of the College Core or for other majors and minors may not be counted toward the Community and Civic Engagement minor. To be given credit for completing the minor, the student's calculated GPA in the minor must be a minimum of 2.5.
