A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
We took the list of courses offered during the 2019-2020 school year. We removed individually-directed courses (thesis, independent study, practicum, internship, etc.) and special topics courses, as well as practice-oriented medical, music, art and other courses.
Courses offered multiple times throughout the year were counted as a separate course for each offering, and jointly-listed courses were counted as multiple courses (once for each offered department) due to the difficulties of consistently identifying joint-listed courses.
Courses were then identified as sustainability-related or sustainability-focused. All courses which are listed as satisfying the UW's Diversity credit requirement were counted as sustainability related.

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
A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
Courses with multiple sections being offered in a single quarter were counted as a single course. If the course was offered in multiple quarters, each quarter was counted as a separate course.
Some courses are cross-listed in multiple departments; these are counted as a separate course for each department.
