Documentation

A copy of the institution’s inventory of its sustainability course offerings and descriptions:
Do the figures reported above cover one, two, or three academic years?:
Three

A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
We completed the course inventory by downloading course information from the Office of the Registrar and searching in the descriptions for key words related to sustainability. Once this list has been narrowed down, we read over the descriptions to determine if a course is a sustainability course or a course that includes sustainability. If a course was taught multiple times in the past 3 years, we only count it once. Cross-listed courses are also only counted once.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of offerings or sections

A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
