Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Courses were identified as sustainability focused based on cross listing as a required course in the Environmental Studies and Sustainability or Sustainable Tourism Management Programs and/ or faculty designation on the faculty sustainability course survey sent to all faculty in fall 2010. If a course description was not listed in the faculty survey response to identify the course as sustainability focused, the course was counted as sustainability related.
