A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
The list of sustainability courses was the result of a survey sent to faculty by a committee that sought to evaluate sustainability at ESF as part of the College's reaccreditation effort. The courses from this survey were counted and reported by the same committee. The count of courses listed as sustainability-related and sustainability-focused assumes that any faculty that did not respond to the survey do not teach any sustainability courses. The total number of courses at ESF was the result of a graduate student effort to count courses within the course catalog.

None
Does the institution make its sustainability course inventory publicly available online?:
