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 :

Methodology: In 2015, a keyword search was developed by one (1) faculty member, and two (2) staff members. The Institution's Course Catalog was reviewed and applicable Sustainability/ Sustainability-Included courses were identified, either from the course's title or brief description. Along with this review, a faculty survey had been previously conducted to identify Sustainability/ Sustainability-Included courses. In 2018, the course inventory was updated following the same methodology, using a keyword search developed by one (1) faculty member and one (1) administrator. An online curriculum management system was searched to identify Sustainability and Sustainability-Included courses added to the campus curriculum since 2015. Additionally, five courses that were listed in 2015 in error were removed.

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
