AC-1: Academic Courses

A sustainability course and research inventory form (electronic and paper) was created to allow faculty to report their courses and research for the inventory. The sustainability course offerings definition in the Technical Manual was used. Office of Sustainability representatives shared information about the inventory process and requested submissions from departments/department chairs via email and in person. The course inventory from the previous STARS report was reviewed and updated. In addition, the 18-19 Academic Catalog, Summer and Winter Term schedules, 18-19 new or experimental courses and graduate programs were reviewed for additional courses that fit the definition of sustainability course offerings. The final course list for each department/program was sent to the department chair/program coordinator for review. The identified courses were cross-referenced with the 18-19 undergraduate and graduate course schedules to ensure they were offered in 18-19. The numbers used in the STARS Report represent the courses offered in 18-19. The list available at the website provided also includes courses that were in the 18-19 Academic Catalog or program information but not offered in 18-19. The total number of courses offered was determined from a report of 18-19 course offerings provided by the Registrar's office after applying the factors identified below regarding multiple sections and course types. The total number of courses offered only includes courses with 2 credit hours or more. The exception to that is individual voice or instrument instruction courses, which were not included. Variable credit hour courses (e.g, research, internship, student teaching, externship) were not included.
