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 :
The number of sustainability courses identified in this inventory are taken from course descriptions in the 2017-18 catalog. Courses were identified as having sustainability content or focus. Content means that the topics of environmental, economic, and/or social sustainability are including with the content presented. These courses can help develop skills that will help students to incorporate sustainability in their coursework and fields of study. "Focus" means the course delved more deeply into content with environmental, economic, and/or social sustainability as a central topic, a principle lens for exploring the topic, and/or an ongoing exploration of the sustainability of the principle topic of study. These selections have been sent to the academic deans of the college for their review and approval.
The concepts of environmental, economic, and social sustainability have been developed and explored by the FY17 AQIP team in a survey of faculty, asking them members. Please the description below for detail about that most recent survey that identifies courses by percentage rather than the full content list of courses developed earlier.
How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each offering or section of a course was counted as an individual course
