Extensive curriculum integration helps create a culture of sustainability where classroom and hands-on learning opportunities educate a generation that has their eye on the future.
How We're Getting There

By using a campus-wide sustainability literacy assessment and incorporating feedback from prospective and current students as well as employers on the value of sustainability education, the university will expand its offerings until all interested students have access to sustainability educational opportunities.
