Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Methodology: Manual search through the Tabloid Publications for FY2010 - the tabloids also include May-June 2009 and July-August 2010. Continuing Education classes that had obvious connections to sustainability were counted - the applied-tech type classes that may include sustainability were not counted, nor were the indistry-specific courses taught at the industrial sites. The number of times the courses (both sustainability-related and total number) were offered during a particular quarter were not taken into consideration - only unique class descriptions were counted.
