A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
The number of courses offered at Bryn Mawr was calculated following Common Data Set (CDS) guidelines. These values exclude credit-bearing or non-credit bearing independent research, internships, senior thesis, or other independent study. Courses exclusively offered by and for the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research are excluded from these values.
The undergraduate course catalogue was reviewed to determine the number of sustainability courses and courses that include sustainability. An initial review of the course catalogue identified courses based on their title and general description. Each course identified was further reviewed to confirm that the course is a sustainability course or includes sustainability based on the guidance provided in the AASHE STARS 2.2 Technical Manual. The list of catalogue offerings for the 2022-23 academic year was then verified against the final course schedule from the registrar's database to confirm the courses actually taught and the number of sections offered.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:

A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
