Course Learning Outcomes

In 2012, Dominican adopted seven sustainability course learning outcomes (CLOs):

1. Understand the way in which sustainable thinking and decision-making contributes to the process of creating solutions for current and emerging social, environmental, and/ or economic crises.
2. Develop a perspective in which students view themselves as embedded in the fabric of an interconnected world.
3. Synthesize understanding of social, economic, and environmental systems and reason holistically.
4. Understand and be able to effectively communicate the concept of sustainability.
5. Contribute practical solutions to real-world sustainability challenges.
6. Develop technical skills or expertise necessary to implement sustainable solutions.
7. Become aware of and explore the connections between their chosen course of study and sustainability.

Any sustainability-focused or sustainability-related course on campus adopts at least one of these CLOs and includes it/them in the syllabus.
