A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
The active courses list as of January 7th 2015 obtained from the Registrar's Office was cross listed with course descriptions. We first reviewed the course descriptions to highlight the courses that we felt dealt with sustainability. We then collected syllabi for many of these classes to assure that they did in fact deal with sustainability, or reached out to faculty or students who took the course to confirm content.
