A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
A comprehensive review of all courses using the General Bulletin was conducted to determine sustainability content (environmental, social, and economic) based on catalog course descriptions. The sustainability content was determined using the catalog course description. Each course description was reviewed for a sustainability component, either as the primary topic of the course or as a focus within the broader scope of the course.

The Director of Sustainability and two graduate students (Sustainability Coordinators) developed their own list. Each list was reviewed collectively to determine one, full list.

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:
