Each course chosen is reviewed by Sustainability Student Assistants, the University Sustainability Coordinator, Department Professors, and Department Heads.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of offerings or sections
