Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

For this STARS submission, OSU's FY13 list of programs with sustainability learning outcomes was updated only to add new programs and recount the number of graduates in each program. The result for FY14 was a much higher number of graduates from programs with sustainability requirements, due to courses required to fulfill degree requirements. For our FY15 submission, we will develop a more refined assessment process that will hopefully result in more consistent year to year performance measurement.
