Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The Chair of the Working Group on Curriculum Research and Community Engagement surveyed the sustainability course listed on the University’s sustainability website (http://www.uta.edu/sustainability/Courses.php; accessed 11/10/2010, data covering 1 year). The definition of Sustainability Courses developed for ER Credit 5 was applied to identify Sustainability Courses. At UT Arlington, some academic programs have status equivalent to Departments but are administered in a School rather than a Department. For Schools, the number of academic programs rather than the number of departments was counted.
