Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Sustainability-focused courses are those cross-listed as "primary" ENVS courses in the catalog and on-line in the ENVS minor website. In Fall, 2011, the ENVS programs at Swarthmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr Colleges were merged, so that students could take ENVS-listed courses on any of the three campuses to count toward a minor.
