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 :

Data represents courses taught (not those that were listed then cancelled), counted by individual section. Courses inventoried that include sustainability consist of a number of individual sections modified by the respective instructor. Other sections of the same course will not include sustainability in the same deliberate way; thus the calculation by course section. The inventory reflects the number of sections of a specified course taught during the Fall and Spring terms of 2014, 2015, and 2016. Summer terms are not included.

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
