Two inventories have been completed. In 2011, a survey was created by interior architecture professor and campus sustainability leader Dr. Anna Marshall-Baker for UNCG faculty to identify their courses pertaining to or utilizing concepts of sustainability. To guide respondents, the survey used UNCG's definition of sustainability: "the enduring interconnectedness of social equity, the environment, economy, and aesthetics. This interconnectedness provides a foundation from which to discover, implement, and enrich sustainable principles and practice. The intent of sustainability is to instill values that promote justice, invent innovative approaches and solutions to environmental and economic challenges, and invest civility and grace into our communities." Course descriptions, student learning outcomes, and sustainability content (by percentage) were all requested. The results were reviewed by two faculty members and the sustainability coordinator, and supplemented with an inventory of the class descriptions in the course catalog. In 2014, the faculty of the Environmental Studies Program voted to create a minor in sustainability. In perusing the course catalog for courses to include, the faculty selected only those they determined were focused on sustainability.

Sustainability courses from list of classes included in the sustainability minor. Courses including sustainability from surveys conducted 2011-2014. Not all courses offered every year; number of courses offered is a 1-year average of number offered 2011-2014. The majority of the courses are undergraduate courses; some graduate classes are included in the total number of courses (and some graduate-undergraduate mixed courses are in the "courses that include sustainability") but we were unable to tease out total number of graduate versus undergraduate courses.
