A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :

In order to document the UT Dallas Course Inventory of Academic Year (AY) 2020, 2021, and 2022, the Office of Sustainability requested a full list of AY 2020, 2021, and 2022 courses through the Provost's Office. Courses were characterized qualitatively based on descriptions in the STARS technical manual.

In order to protect against false positives that occurred from utilizing key word searches, ALL sustainability courses (focused and related) that were identified using the key word search were then audited by the Sustainability Coordinator to ensure that each course was correctly identified as focused or related to sustainability.


How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of offerings or sections
