A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
Staff at the Sustainability Institute coordinated the data gathering and assessment for AC1. A complete list of courses offered during the past three academic years--including course subjects, departments, titles, and course descriptions, was obtained from the registrar's office.
UNHSI interns then eliminated courses that could be excluded (per AASHE Technical Guidance) from the total course list because they were Individually-directed or strictly practice-oriented. Then each remaining course title/description was reviewed for an indication of whether it could be considered either sustainability-focused or sustainability-inclusive, based on the criteria in the STARS Technical Manual and reference to the SDG's.
When the determination seemed unclear (approximately three dozen courses), faculty instructors were contacted to ask them for more input or clarification. Occasionally UNHSI team members were consulted in addition. Those courses ultimately deemed to be either sustainability-focused or sustainability-inclusive were added to the attached inventory, with their course descriptions. Once the inventory was compiled, it was reviewed by a staff member for completeness, consistency and accuracy.
How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
If a course was open to both undergraduates and graduates, it was counted as both an undergraduate course and a graduate course.
