A brief description of the formal sustainability course designation program:
SF State designates sustainability-focused courses in its online course bulletin and online class schedule. The online catalog includes a "Course Attributes" listing for each course and one of the attributes is "Environmental Sustainability."
These courses reflect SF State's graduation requirement called "SF State Studies," which requires students to take a course designated "Environmental Sustainability." The requirement is meant to ensure that students take a least one course in areas that the campus feels are important to graduates of our university. There are currently four graduation requirements that students must meet:
American Ethnic and Racial Minorities (AERM),
Environmental Sustainability (ES),
Global Perspectives (GP) and
Social Justice (SJ).
Courses approved for the SF State Studies Environmental Sustainability requirement must examine some aspect of environmental sustainability. The perspective can be from any area of the university curriculum, such as social sciences, natural sciences, arts, humanities, business, or engineering. Faculty can apply to list their courses with the designation.
