A brief description of how the figure above was determined:
A review of all programs was conducted for sustainability learning objectives at the degree and program level. An additional review took place looking at required courses that meet sustainability-focused criteria.
After programs were identified, we reviewed a list of number of graduates per program and overall. This is summarized in the attached document and accessible links in the notes section below.
This is based on the # of students graduating May 2022.
