A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
The inventory was completed in 2 phases:
Phase 1- In the first phase a search of the 2014-2015 Bulletin was conducted to create two lists: Potential sustainability courses and potential courses that include sustainability. The potential sustainability course list was generated by searching our entire course catalog for the term “sustaina”. If any form of the word appeared in the course title or course description, then that course was added to the list. The list of potential courses that include sustainability was generated in the same way, however for this list we searched the catalog for this list of search terms independently:
• Environment
• Ecologic/Ecology
• Natura+Resource
• Conservation
• Economic
• Community
• Community+development
• Social
• Societ
• Societal+development
• Global
• Cities
• Bioregion
Phase 2- Independent review of the results of phase 1 by faculty and staff members of the President's Sustainability Advisory Committee to determine which courses are included on which list using the above definition as the guiding criteria.
