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 :
All courses that had over 4 students enrolled were compiled from the time period of Summer 2016-Spring 2017. Courses removed include practicum, individual instruction, capstone, physical education, independent research, special projects/topics, job shadow, extern/internship and performance arts. Syllabi and master course outlines (MCOs) were then cross-referenced against the AASHE STARS sustainability definition listed below. "Sustainability Focused" courses have a clear sustainability focus. "Sustainability-related" courses must have descriptions that directly correlate to the AASHE STARS definition of sustainability. In some cases, instructor syllabi were obtained to verify the depth to which sustainability is integrated.
Sustainability related course rubric was created that aligns with the AASHE sustainability definition. AASHE defines sustainability in a pluralistic and inclusive way, encompassing human and ecological health, social justice, secure livelihoods, and a better world for all generations. STARS attempts to translate this broad and inclusive view of sustainability to measurable objectives at the campus level. Thus, it includes credits related to an institution’s environmental, social, and economic performance.
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
