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 Office was provided a list of courses taught during the most recent academic year. Sustainability staff reviewed the course description for each course, and from that description determined if sustainability issues were covered. In some cases, students who took the course knew that sustainability case studies were used in courses, that the course description may not have reflected.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:

Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of offerings or sections
