Documentation

A copy of the institution’s inventory of its sustainability course offerings and descriptions:
Do the figures reported above cover one, two, or three academic years?:
One

A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
The New School Institutional Research Department provided course data from the academic year 2020/2021. The data were analyzed in the following sequence: 1) internships, practicums, independent study, clinical, physical education, technique-based, and performance arts courses were excluded; 2) cross-listed courses and occasional duplicates were deleted; 3) using AASHE STARS guidelines, sustainability-focused and sustainability-inclusive courses were identified department by department. Courses listed in multiple departments (cross-listed courses) are counted as one course per The New School methodology. Courses listed for both undergraduate and graduate students are counted as two courses to streamline the counting process and reflect the situation accurately. Courses offered at Parsons Paris campus were excluded because the Paris campus is excluded from the institutional boundary.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each offering or section of a course was counted as an individual course

A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
In the inventory, multiple sections (which count as courses) were not included; therefore, the course itself is named in the inventory, but there is not necessarily a row for each section.
