Has the institution identified its sustainability-focused and sustainability-related course offerings?:
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
Sustainability courses were selected for the inventory by The Ohio State University at Newark Associate Dean’s Office administrative staff and Office of Energy Services and Sustainability personnel. The course offerings are for one year: academic year 2012-2013. A subset of courses was generated by selecting courses offered at the Ohio State Newark campus which contained one of a number of relevant keywords in the course title, description or goals. The list was further refined by analysis of the course description and objectives according to the AASHE STARS Technical Manual version 1.2 definitions for sustainability-focused and sustainability-related courses.
