This data only covers undergraduate course offerings. The courses listed above include only those courses that matched with the keyword search conducted using the Electronic Course Authorization System (keywords included: climate, air, water, biodiversity, efficiency, energy, renewables, photovoltaic, hydro, smart grid, green, biomass, biofuel, soil, poverty, forestry, and life cycle cost). Courses not containing the keywords that may involve sustainability are not reflected in this inventory, as the University has too large of a course list to sort through each course manually. In addition, many courses did not include detailed class description, making it difficult to determine if they were sustainability-related courses. Many of the questionable courses were omitted when manually sorting through this inventory. In addition, the sustainability-related courses include over 80 different subject areas, giving undergraduates the opportunity to study sustainability principles in many of their interest areas. Staff from the Electronic Course Authorization System conducted the search for Sustainability Courses; there is no specific website listing these courses.
