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 :

Our inventory covers all courses taught in the 2014-15 academic year. All courses were reviewed for sustainability content by analyzing the course descriptions published in the course catalog and on our website. For courses whose sustainability content was not clear, we contacted faculty and asked them to describe the extent to which their courses included sustainability.

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
