A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
Keyword searches were done using Wesleyan's course-selection software, WesMaps, then a preliminary course inventory was presented to all departments and programs. Each department/program added/removed the necessary courses and then confirmed the course list for their area. Departments/programs were presented with a definition of sustainability explorations (tab 1 of attached spreadsheet and at https://www.wesleyan.edu/sustainability/employees/sej.html).
All included grad courses are cross-listed with undergraduate course numbers; so the grad courses listed are double-counted.
