Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Environmental protection course for sustainable development goals
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
In 2020, Western Caspian University launched a new environmental literacy general educational requirement that ensures students graduate having taken at least one three-credit course anchored to environmental topics. WCU is one of the first public universities to adopt such a requirement.
A long-sought goal for a passionate group of students and faculty members, the environmental literacy component bolsters the university’s position as a leading institution of higher learning committed to sustainability and environmentalism.
The University’s new Environmental Literacy general education requirement took effect in the 2020-22 catalog, meaning that all students admitted in Fall 2020 and some continuing students will be required to pass at least one three-credit Environmental Literacy course.
