Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The Atkinson Center (ACSF) oversees the delivery (publicly, via the web) and annual review of the most comprehensive list of sustainability-related courses at Cornell (www.acsf.cornell.edu/education/curricula). With this submission, we have changed our tracking system internally to identify courses as "focused" or "related" following the STARS criteria (as indicated in the attached course inventory). This aligned process accounts for our slight increase in points.
- 209 sustainability-related courses were offered in 2011-12
- Total unique courses - for last year's survey, the Cornell University Registrar and the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future spent a great deal of time identifying the unique courses offered at Cornell in the 2010-11 academic year by selecting distinct (not cross-listed) courses and excluding labs/fieldwork/clinics (required for another course), internships, independent studies, and special degree required work (like honors thesis, masters & doctoral research). For 2010-11, we reported 3965 total unique courses.
To calculate the total unique courses for 2011-12, the Registrar suggested we save time and resources by using an estimate, rather than an exact count. The Registrar reported a 0.86% increase in the number of courses. Applying the same percentage increase, we calculate 4000 total unique courses.
