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 :

We used a variety of methods to track down our data. We identified sustainability course offerings by searching the course catalog for keywords and manually sifted through the descriptions, reached out to faculty directly, and had the associate deans issue out a Google Form for professors to fill out if any courses that they teach or have taught in the past 3 years qualify.

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
