A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
Student interns in the Office of Sustainability reviewed course lists for each department to generate a draft list of sustainability courses and courses that include sustainability. Lists of courses that had included public service during the last two years were obtained from the Center for Public Service and integrated into the draft list. The draft lists were distributed to Deans during the summer of 2014 for review. For the School of Medicine, the director of the Office of Sustainability worked directly with the Vice Dean of Academic Affairs of the School of Medicine to develop the list.
To count the total number of courses offered, a student intern returned to sources first used to develop the draft list. Course numbers for learning experiences with content determined by the student were not included (i.e. Honors Thesis, Internship, Independent Study, Capstone, Research, Master’s Research, Dissertation Research). Courses numbers for Service Learning credit were not counted, as the course to which the service learning is attached is already included in the inventory. Courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted once.
