A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
Each Department Chair of the University was requested to review the current STARS definitions for "sustainability" courses and courses including a sustainability component and to document those courses that (a) fit under one of these categories and (b) was actually taught during the previous academic year. Each course was only counted once, regardless of the number of times it was offered during the year. Courses excluded from the inventory included internships, practicums, workshops, thesis, independent studies, courses jointly taught with the Univ. of Pittsburgh, and "one-time only" courses. Courses were counted by aggregated courses (a course was only counted once regardless of the number of times it was offered in the academic year). A manual count of all courses taught each semester during FY 2012-2013 was conducted to ascertain the total number of undergraduate and graduate courses taught (excluding internships, etc. as noted above).
