Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Staff from the Electronic Course Authorization System conducted the search for Sustainability Courses and their departments; there is no specific website listing departments offering Sustainability courses.

The 'total number of departments that offer courses' reflects the total number of departments with active courses in the campus directory.

Of the twelve colleges offering some type of undergraduate major or minor program, eleven offer at least one sustainability related or sustainability focused course in their curriculum. Graduate colleges are not included because this inventory included only undergraduate education at the University.
