A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:

Collaborative reporting. http://old.gcsu.edu/green/docs/Sustainability_Circle_Report.pdf

A list of courses at GCSU that contain sustainability content and
models for incorporation of the topic currently used at other universities were gathered.
The list of courses at GCSU was obtained by directly emailing faculty. Since a general
“call” failed to generate a response, specific faculty and department chairs were targeted
and asked via email for either class information and/or recommendations of other
faculty within their department. This list will provide a start to a directory of courses at
GCSU that contain content on sustainability.
