A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
An initial survey was sent to all faculty participating in the Common Experience Project on Sustainability (CEP-S) to pilot the survey to be sent to all faculty, regardless of their participation in CEP-S. That survey provided an initial baseline of sustainability courses currently being offered at Ohio University.
Using survey responses, the initial course list was created. In an effort to gather a more comprehensive and accurate list of sustainability related and focused courses, an Office of Sustainability student employee was tasked with searching through the Ohio University course offerings database and searched for key words to add more courses to the list.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The total number of academic departments differs within this credit from the number reported for IC-3: Academics and Demographics because sustainability-focused and related courses are offered within academic divisions that do not meet the Ohio University's definition of "academic department". For example, the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public affairs is not an academic department; however, the school houses all environmental studies courses, therefore the Voinovich School was counted as an academic department for the purpose of this credit.
