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 :
During the 2018-2019 academic year, Academic Affairs conducted a Sustainability Baseline, an inventory of
course content that is related to sustainability. It was done in preparation for input of college data into the
STARS ratings system (A Sustainability Committee activity).
Academic department chairs, operating with departmental feedback, placed their course offerings into one of
the following categories: (focused or related)
Upon receiving comments from STARS reviewers an extensive survey was done using the College Catalog's course descriptions to survey ALL courses as far as Sustainability related content. Also connected directly with professors to get "sustainability related" content for the courses they had previously indicated as containing this type of content. The file attached includes the 4 Sustainability courses and 37 courses with "sustainability related" content.
