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 methodology used for the development of the course inventory was based on two dimensions. The first dimension pertains to concepts of citizenship and the environment, understanding both as key elements for sustainable development. The second dimension considered relates to quality of life, education, and socioeconomic development in the region. Indeed, the combination of these established criteria results in a sustainability perspective aligned with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

 

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of offerings or sections

A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:

To determine whether a course is focused on or integrates sustainability, the following criteria have been considered. Firstly, a course is considered focused on sustainability if its title (or that of the academic program/degree) specifically includes terms that refer to this concept. Secondly, reinforcing the previous parameter, the name of the academic department to which the degree is assigned has been evaluated to determine its focus or integration, provided that its description mentions sustainability. According to this methodology, a course is considered focused on sustainability if it meets either one or both of these conditions. On the other hand, a course is considered to integrate sustainability if its description and/or content includes concepts or ideas (such as economy, trade, innovation, capacity building, infrastructure, organizational change, renewable energy, health, technology, IT, telecommunications, food, entrepreneurship, employability, education, environment, digital governance, citizenship, productive development, equity, gender, culture, society, politics, law, etc.) that allude to sustainability.
