A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
A student intern for the Office of Campus Sustainability, working under the supervision of the Bucknell Center for Sustainability & the Environment (BCSE) and the Office of Campus Sustainability (OCS), reviewed every course listed in the 2022 course catalog and compared course descriptions to AASHE's definitions for sustainability courses. BCSE staff examined the 2022-2023 Bucknell course catalog and reviewed every course and course description using the criteria discerning between “sustainability-focused” and “sustainability-inclusive” courses detailed by AASHE (https://stars.aashe.org/resources-support/help-center/academics/academic-courses/). Furthermore, courses were also reviewed regarding course themes aligning with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From this process, courses deemed either “sustainability-focused” or “sustainability-inclusive” were included in the total of sustainability courses. Courses that did not meet the criteria stated by AASHE were excluded from the list of sustainability courses.
