A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
Reviewed the college catalog utilizing the designation of SU (sustainability course) to identify courses that have sustainability content and compiled them with the courses that are already program-based in sustainability. (There are 28 program major courses focused on Sustainability, and 10 courses with sustainability designations, with sustainability being a major element of the class, 38 total)
Courses with Equity, Power, Diversity (EDP) designations were counted in this report - as EDP courses focus on racial, cultural, economic, and environmental justice. (65 courses, not including sections) These are not including the 38 sustainability focused courses with our Sustainability Designation (SU) above or in program majors.
How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
