(1) The Green Leaf Course list is subject to change from semester to semester. For the most updated list, please download the Compendium of Green Leaf Courses from our website at https://sustainability.gwu.edu/green-course-list. (2) As noted earlier, this inventory is more extensive than the Green Leaf Course list, which was developed primarily as a tool for undergraduates interested in the Sustainability Minor. (3) Four courses are listed under the Office of the Provost. These courses are considered pan-University and therefore do not fit any one department. We have placed them within the Office of the Provost because these courses are supported by his office as exemplars of the kind of cross-disciplinary approaches to education touted in the University's strategic plan.
