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 :

First a unique count of courses offered by the University in one academic year (2016-2017) is requested from the Registrar’s office. Courses offered by the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Andlinger Center for Energy and Environment are reviewed for sustainability content first, and then all other courses listed on the Registrar’s Course Offerings page. Throughout, course descriptions are used to distinguish content that is sustainability focused versus sustainability related.

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
