A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
Every semester, we search the the course registration system for courses that return key words such as "sustainability" and "environment" to create a list of the courses offered by the College. We reviewed the course titles and descriptions to distinguish content that was sustainability focused versus sustainability related. The data submitted is for academic year 2022-23. Courses were excluded based on the criteria provided by the sampling and data standard of section AC-1.

Excluded: Discussion/recitations, courses with 4 or less students, excluded individually directed courses and studio courses in dance and physical education.


We used a unique count of courses offered. Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of offerings or sections

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
