Has the institution developed a definition of sustainability in the curriculum?:
A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability in the curriculum?:
Sustainability-focused courses at Denison University explore relationships between humans and the environment. Working from a variety of perspectives, these courses explore and analyze at least two types of systems (i.e. cultural, social, economic, political, and/or ecological) and their ability to meet the needs of future generations. These courses purposefully connect actions with outcomes in their relation to environmental issues.
Sustainability-related courses at Denison include at least one clearly identified, four week-long unit within the semester that meets the above definition.
Has the institution identified its sustainability-focused and sustainability-related course offerings?:
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:

Additional courses from other departments/programs were identified by Campus Sustainability Committee members based on course descriptions.
Does the institution make its sustainability course inventory publicly available online?:
