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 head of the Environmental Studies program and faculty members of the Sustainability Committee identified known sustainability courses. Sue Dorward sent an email to all faculty and adjuncts to identify additional courses, and included the definition of "includes sustainability" in this email. This resulted in the identification of several additional courses to the sustainability-related course list and the removal of some courses that are no longer offered.
