Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The Atkinson Center (ACSF) leadership oversees the delivery (publicly, via the web) and annual review of the most comprehensive list of sustainability-related courses at Cornell (www.acsf.cornell.edu/curricula). They determined that included courses should be "specifically and substantially addressing sustainability at an introductory, fundamental, or specialized level" rather than "focused" or "related" as suggested by STARS.
For the purposes of this survey, we consider "focused" to include our "introductory" courses, and "related" to include our "fundamental" and "specialized" courses.
- 197 sustainability-related courses were offered in 2010-11
- 3965 total courses were offered at Cornell in the 2010-11 academic year. To calculate the total number of courses offered, we selected distinct (not cross-listed) courses and excluded labs/fieldwork/clinics (required for another course), internships, independent studies, and degree required work (like honors thesis, masters & doctoral research).
