A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
To determine the total number of courses offered, an Excel sheet counting all the courses taught in 2019, 2020, and 2021 was compiled. All the courses were arranged by the course number. Undergraduate course numbers range from 100-499 whereas graduate range from 500-799. The total number of course offerings in the past 3 years was obtained by contacting the Registrars Office. For identifying sustainability courses, the department chairs were asked to identify them in their respective departments. If they weren't sure, then the course descriptions for each course in their department was reviewed and then the syllabuses for those courses were reviewed carefully to check whether they have any content related to sustainability.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Other (please describe below)

A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
Multiple offerings or sections of the same course were counted as an individual course for all course lists. If the course title was the same but the departments or the course number were different or if it was an honors course, then it was counted as a separate course
