A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :

Each course description was reviewed for sustainability content and when in doubt about whether or not it was a sustainability course or course that included sustainability we contacted the professor teaching the course in question.
