ER-12: Sustainability Immersive Experience

Global Pathways Certificate - designed to maximize the rich cultural learning experiences available to students on campus, in the community and abroad. Students choose a certificate theme based on your interest and goals, take related academic courses and a language, and participate in international and/or intercultural experiences and events to enhance your theme. Such active learning and reflection, together with intercultural interaction, dialogue and service help provide the invaluable intercultural skills and competencies needed to be a global-ready graduate. Environmental Sustainability theme: Through an individually designed course of study, students will explore how environmentally sustainable solutions are developed and/or how human activity simultaneously impacts, and is impacted by, the global environment. In support of the global orientation of this initiative, particular emphasis should be placed on the study of environmental issues that extend beyond North America. Students pursuing this theme also have the option of completing a one-semester minimum research project that addresses a contemporary global environmental issue for the International or Intercultural Experience. These students will also achieve the additional learning outcome of being able to communicate scientific/technical/socioeconomic issues that transcend their own culture.
