To provide students with the opportunity to study sustainability from a variety of perspectives and easily connect with faculty teaching sustainability courses, the University of Hawaiʻi has created the S-designation.
Similar to the way “WI” identifies a writing intensive course, “S” identifies a course that is sustainability-focused or sustainability-related. The S-designation is indicated in Banner comments, and some sustainability-focused courses will appear on transcripts.
Visit the UH sustainability website to access a full listing of S-designated courses offered across many UH campuses, and check out a selection of these courses below beginning with the three sustainability degree programs UH currently offers:
- UH West Oʻahu bachelor’s of applied science—sustainable community food systems
- UH Maui College bachelor’s of applied science—sustainability science management
- UH Mānoa bachelor’s of interdisciplinary studies—sustainability studies
