Texas State University, San Marcos
AC-1: Academic Courses

The H.B. 2504 website for Texas State University was used for the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings by going through one syllabi for Fall, Spring, and Summer 2017. In order to determine if a course was suited as a sustainable course or if the courses included sustainable learning outcomes, the team preformed a methodology to sift through all the data, in the following order; first look for key terms in the title of the course. If no key terms are in the title, then look at the course description provided by the university. If no key terms are in the description, look at the week by week break down by the professor and see if any lesson includes any of the key terms.
Key terms; environmental, environment, sustainable, energy, climate change, global warming, renewable, conservation, preservation, nature, pollution, population, ecology, landscape, etc.

AC1 #2 Comment: Titles to all courses have now been added. Due to human error courses were overlooked regarding titles. After a thorough review the course inventory has been modified in the following ways; there are now 22 courses in the undergraduate program that are sustainability- focused and 134 courses that refer to sustainability. The change from 21 to 22 and 133 to 134 was due to human error and a miscount during the final reporting. There are now 30 courses in the graduate program that are sustainability-focused and 76 courses that refer to sustainability. The change from 31 to 30 courses was due to human error and a miscount during the final reporting. The 76 courses that refer to sustainability was updated due to human error of miscounting and repeating some courses. Please review our new course inventory excel sheet title: "Course Inventory Revised" for further review.
