Part 1. Institutional sustainability learning outcomes

A list of the institution level sustainability learning outcomes:

Part 2. Program-level sustainability learning outcomes

Total number of graduates from degree programs:
1,754

Number of graduates from degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability:
435

A brief description of how the figure above was determined:
We used the first criteria, "identified graduates from degree programs with a sustainability-focus", as these were the same programs listed in AC 3 and AC 4 and this was easy data to compile.

To gather the figures, the Office of Institutional Research, Analytics, and Reporting provided a link to a website with the number of graduates from all degree programs during Academic Year 2021-2022. (Review it at http://pine.humboldt.edu/anstud/cgi-bin/filter.pl?relevant=degreesall_U.out (toggle between grad / undergrad at top of page).

For this credit, we did not also include graduates from programs that have adopted sustainability-focused learning outcomes and/or those that require successful completion of a sustainability-focused course, because this activity was deemed too time intensive.
