Sustainability Attribute Policy

Faculty can have their courses approved as sustainability electives by learning about the sustainability minor’s core concepts and filling out this proposal.

The sustainability curriculum follows the structure of the Triple Bottom-Line Approach (Society/Equity, Economy, Environment/Nature) and includes consideration of the impacts of our actions, personally and collectively, on others, as well as a sense of self-efficacy to work toward improving conditions that foster the well-being of people and the environment now and into the future.

We invite colleagues who wish to have their courses count for SUST credit to submit a short but substantive description of how their course fits the Sustainability minor curriculum. The sustainability minor targets students outside the environmental studies and geography majors to allow all UR students to learn and work toward sustainability.
