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 survey process consisted of two major approaches. The first was a request (oral and written) to the department and program heads to provide a list of courses that either focused on sustainability or were related to sustainability. The second approach was to review the entire course catalog and determine the courses whose content was focused on, or related to, sustainability. Whenever possible, we then followed up with discussions of the individual faculty members or area representative to confirm the accuracy of our determination. The data presented in this report was primarily based on the second approach.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
