A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
The Course Inventory was extracted from the IU Course Bulletin for courses offered in the Sum2019/Fall2019/Spring2020 for FY20. Total of 6,538 course subjects offered with a total of 26,163 total course sections counted in total inventory. Identified courses were selected based on Course Bulletin Data search and extraction of Key words containing sustainability terms. Courses were filtered for Sustainability related Key Words. The filtered Courses were then reviewed for level of Sustainability addressing the 3 spheres of Sustainability: Environmental, Social, Economics. Courses covering at least 2 sphere topics are recorded as Sustainability Inclusive (2,689 # course sections). Courses covering all 3 sphere topics are reported as Sustainability Focused (575 #course sections).
