A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :
A Graduate Research Assistant studying sustainability examined the online course catalog, reading through course descriptions and course syllabi to determine whether courses were related to sustainability, intentionally focused on sustainability, or unrelated 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
A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted (if different from the options outlined above):
Course sections were not counted separately. Labs were counted separately if they had a different course number than the course number. Similarly, courses with a "G," or "Graduate" component were counted as a separate course, as they were counted separately in "Total Courses Offered," as well.
