A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :

The Sustainability Director reviewed all course descriptions offered at Keene State College from the keene.edu website and the online course catalog for 2014-2015. Courses were identified based on a key word search using AASHE's definition of sustainability (STARS Technical Manual 2.1).
