The value for the total number of departments at Penn State includes all academic departments (n=100), plus three additional “departments” to encompass research faculty who do not have a departmental affiliation, but rather are employed at the university or college level. We examined the departmental affiliations of all faculty engaged in sustainability research from our survey and follow-up inquiry (as described under ER Credit 16), and counted the number of unique departments. There are 72 departments with a least one faculty member engaged in sustainability research.
