A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability in the curriculum?:
Has the institution identified its sustainability-focused and sustainability-related course offerings?:
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
Not all courses are created equal and will not prepare students equally for careers related to sustainability. To gauge the relevance of courses to preparing students for these careers, we developed a numerical relevance ranking, ranging from 1 (less relevant) to 3 (extremely relevant). To ensure that criteria were applied consistently, data was cross-checked by additional student research assistants.
A note on method: the course assessment was limited by the subjectivity of many of the steps – particularly the ranking system and classification of sustainability skills. For courses with limited descriptions, relevant courses may have been missed because publicly posted descriptions were not detailed enough.
Does the institution make its sustainability course inventory publicly available online?:
