A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:

Our sustainability coordinator first reviewed the course descriptions in the catalog to develop a list, then consulted staff and professors for suggestions. The lists were each then sent to their respective department heads who reviewed them to verify accuracy.

The final list was presented to the entire faculty during the 2014 Winter Faculty Workshop for review.

Courses with less than four were eliminated. Also removed from the count were course listings which are designed to give credit to a student for a practicum, internship, tutoring, or private lessons and there was not actual class to attend.
