Sustainability Related Courses

Cal Poly received a gold rating for AASHE ​​​​STARS certification in September 2019. As part of the rating process, STARS recognizes courses that focus on and include sustainability (a.k.a. "sustainability related courses"). Sustainability focused and related courses are designated through a review process by the Academic Senate Sustainability Committee (ASSC). To qualify as related, the course must explicitly teach at least one of the Cal Poly Sustainability Learning Objectives. Sustainability related courses are designated if “Courses that are not explicitly focused on sustainability (may) contribute towards scoring if sustainability has clearly been incorporated into course content.”[1]

Upon release of a new catalog the ASSC will review new course offerings and add the appropriate courses to the list below. If your wish to add a course that is not listed, please complete this onedrive form and email a course syllabus and any other supportive material to suscat@calpoly.edu.

Sorted alphabetically by prefix. Course title is linked to the 2019/20 Catalog Description.
