A brief description of how the figure above was determined:
Using undergraduate students as the predominate population at Rutgers-New Brunswick, we used Bachelors degrees conferred Spring 2022 as the starting point for our calculations.

We then analyzed learning goals/outcomes for each degree program to identify those with a sustainability-focused component.
