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 :
We went through the course catalog to find courses that seemed to cover sustainability while also putting out a survey to professors asking them if the course they teach includes sustainability. The survey also asked if they were interested in having their course include sustainability and we will be working with them in order to make that happen.

Each offering or section of a course was counted as an individual course
