State University of New York at Oswego
AC-3: Undergraduate Program

Institution offers at least one:

• Sustainability-focused program (​major, degree, or certificate program​) for undergraduate students

  AND/OR

• Undergraduate-level, sustainability-focused ​minor or concentration​ (e.g., a concentration on sustainable business within a business major).

To count, a major, degree/certificate program, minor, or concentration must have a primary and explicit focus on the concept of sustainability or the interdependence of ecological systems and social/economic systems.

Extension certificates and other certificates that are not part of academic degree programs do not count for this credit; they are covered in the Continuing Education​ ​credit in Public Engagement.

An institution earns the maximum of 3 points available for this credit for having at least one sustainability-focused degree program or the equivalent for undergraduate students. Partial points are available. An institution with no sustainability-focused degree program that has at least one sustainability-focused minor, concentration, or certificate earns 1.5 points (half of the points available for this credit).
