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 :
The full list of courses offered at Loyola Marymount University were reviewed and first based on course name. Once sustainability-focused and sustainability-related courses were identified by title then both course description and objectives were reviewed to determine which category the courses would fall into, either focused or related, if at all. In reviewing the course description and objectives we looked to see if the course fulfilled one or more of the following criterion:
1) Course discusses issues of natural resource use and management
2) Course examines issues relating to preservation and environmental regulation
3) Course should analyze human-environment interactions; how past and present generations address issues concerning socioeconomic and environmental challenges in their respective times
4) Course discusses how present and future generations will address issues such as energy, technology, social enterprise, government, ecosystems, food resources, policy, law, and education
How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each offering or section of a course was counted as an individual course
