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 :
For the total course inventory, the online descriptions of each class were reviewed and assessed. The descriptions were evaluated against the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Earth Charter Principles to determine courses containing sustainability content with either the goals or principles as indicators. These course are listed in the column titled "courses that include sustainability with reasoning." This method assumes that courses include specific content that supports learning of skills and information that combats sustainability challenges. The method for determining if a course is sustainability inclusive is if the course contributes to achieving a target within the UN Sustainability Development Goals.
