Documentation

A copy of the institution’s inventory of its sustainability course offerings and descriptions:
Do the figures reported above cover one, two, or three academic years?:
One

A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
The Director of the Redford Conservancy examined the College's course catalog from 2022-23. I applied AASHE's definitions of "sustainability course" and "course that includes sustainability" against the course descriptions to compile the inventory of the College's course offerings with sustainability content.

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

A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
We did not count courses with multiple sections. Each course was counted on its own.
