A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :
An excel file of graduate courses and undergraduate courses was obtained from the registrar office, specifically Cindy Carleton. One-by-one, each course designated as applicable or not, and sustainable or not. Courses that were not included were all of the types listed in the STARS technical manual as well as ROTC/Military courses, workshops, seminars, and individual research courses. Classes that were considered as sustainable courses included all classes that specifically mentioned sustainability as a focus in their course description. Courses that were designated as covering sustainability as a topic were those that mentioned sustainability in their course description and those that dealt with management of natural resources and human/environment interactions.
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
A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted (if different from the options outlined above):
Courses offered more than once within one academic year or between the two were counted once. Cross-listed courses were counted once for each department in which they were listed.

| Yes (included) or No (not included) | |
| Internships | No |

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Changes were made after the initial assessment of undergraduate courses, so the first tab does not reflect the last two in some locations. I am unsure if designated too many types of courses as not applicable.
