Sustainability can be viewed as a framework for making decisions that integrates human, environmental and economic needs as a whole system. This list of courses was first compiled by members of the Environmental Advisory Council in spring quarter 2006. In spring 2008, the list was updated with information from the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Engineering. If you would like to add a course to this list, please contact Karen Price.
