Hi Carol,
 
I sense another award winning paper in the making here.  Thanks for this important research.  
 
When I researched our first sustainability course for the MBA program, I reviewed info from the Aspen Institute, http://www.aspeninstitute.org/  Additionally, Harvard Business School Publishing's website has some great cases.

Subject: sustainability minors & certificates



Please provide me with your input on your sustainability and environment majors, minors and certificates -- and if you have more than one -- how you differentiate the programs.

At Missouri State University we have an Environmental Science & Policy Minor:

http://www.cnas.missouristate.edu/envsp.htm

The campus committee (of which I am a member) that oversees this minor has been charged with developing a separate "sustainability minor" and a graduate professional certificate related in some dimension to sustainability.  The second sustainability minor is likely to be very cross-disciplinary in nature.  What should be the two or three anchor courses?  One proposal for a graduate certificate is linked to training in GIS (Geological Information Systems)?  What alternatives to this exist at your university?
