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 :
Carleton's Director of Environmental Studies collaborated with the sustainability assistant (STA) program to identify sustainability focused and sustainability related courses by looking through the registrar's list of courses and classifying relevant courses as "sustainability-focused" or "sustainability-related." This list is posted on the sustainability website.
Furthermore, the Majors and Concentrations tab in the College's Academics web page includes Sustainability in a list of "Other Topics of Interest." The courses listed in that link are maintained by a professor in Carleton's environmental studies department.
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
