A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :

For Sustainability-Focused Courses: Recent course catalogue search along with comparison of OIE PeopleSoft Data from 2016-2019 (to make sure the class was given), then got Department Confirmation.
For Sustainability-Inclusive Courses: Courses that were also identified in the OIE data, but not obviously sustainability-related were entered into a GoogleForm and sent to chair of departments, to talk with their faculty, and report on whether the identified courses contained any sustainability-related content.


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
