A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
Using the AASHE STARS definitions of sustainability-focused and sustainability-related courses, the Office of Sustainability reviewed the Tufts courses offered from Fall 2018 - Summer 2021. If a course was offered to both graduate and undergraduate students, it was counted as an graduate course. If a course was offered multiple semesters or as multiple sections, all sections were counted. The spreadsheets were filtered to exclude internships, practicums, exams, etc. The remaining course types are Lectures, Seminars, and Once-Per-Weeks.
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
