A list of the institution level sustainability learning outcomes:
Total number of graduates from degree programs:
Number of graduates from degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability:
A brief description of how the figure above was determined:
Part 2. Program-level sustainability learning outcomes.
Question 1. Total number of graduates from degree programs.
- Information from OIR, undergraduate and graduate, Melbourne campus only, AY 2022-23.
Question 2. Number of graduates from degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability.
- Of the options in the STARS guidance for identifying program-level SUS learning outcomes, we identified the number of graduates from degree programs in AY 2022-23 that required at least one sustainability-focused course as identified in the Academic Courses credit for AY 2022-23. Among other criteria, these undergraduate and graduate courses have course descriptions, syllabi, or other descriptions that are satisfactory if “… there is an explicit focus on the interdependence of ecological systems and social/economic systems” (from STARS Technical Manual 2.2 for credit AC-2).
- The course and program information were identified by reviewing all potentially relevant programs in the FIT catalog following criteria in the 2.2 Technical Manual. The information obtained is in the attached file which has two worksheets (WS): a) WS1 lists the names of Programs w SF Courses, their specific Program Codes, and the names of one or more required SF courses in that program. b) WS2 lists the different program codes that require the course for each course number, the course description, and other information. Reviews were by the Academic Sustainability Program with assistance from the Academic Work Group of the USC. Program codes are unique numeric identifiers of any explicit academic program (from Ph.D. to Certificate).
- We used the attached file to identify and provide OIR with the program codes for programs with at least one required SUS-focused course. To complete, question 2 of Part 2, OIR than tallied the number of graduates for AY 22-23 from those program codes.
