A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
The Sustainability Institute culled undergraduate and graduate course catalogs, the UNH Registrar's Time/Room Schedule, and academic program websites to come up with a first draft course list. A survey was sent to all UNH faculty and lecturers asking them to also submit information on the sustainability focused and related courses they teach. These two lists were merged into one final course list.
Institutional Research provided the total number of undergraduate and graduate courses offered in AY12-13.
The list online is up to date as of August 2011 and is now being updated by UNHSI to include information through spring 2013.
