Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Carnegie Mellon University does not deliberately distinguish between courses that focus or concentrate on the concept of sustainability throughout the course and courses that relate to an aspect of sustainability or include sustainability as part of the course in its definition of sustainability in the curriculum. However, the University does offer courses that could be defined as either sustainability-focused or related courses. Each of listed courses reflect such implied sustainability-related content and curriculum.
The sustainability course inventory can be found at the Carnegie Mellon University's Environmental Education website. It should be noted, however, that the website is updated at the beginning of each semester to aid students during the registration process. Therefore, a course inventory had been separately created and attached.
*An additional note about the total number of courses: We arrived at the total number of courses by taking the approximate number of courses offered during Fall 2011 (3,075) and Spring 2012 (3,116).
