Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
These sustainability learning outcomes were determined by first looking through the UO Office of Academic Affairs' Assessment Plans page: http://assessment.uoregon.edu/node/67. This page is the only centralized location where department-level learning outcomes are found. Only three department learning outcomes met this criteria. The other two departments (accounting and geography) had sustainability-related courses which were also core courses. To determine courses with sustainability-related outcomes, we only investigated the available syllabi's from core courses on our sustainability related and focused course inventory. It is almost certain that more departments have goals, outcomes, or courses with outcomes, which have a sustainability focus. However, they are either not reported or not found in a centralized location for easy tracking. The data on the total number of graduates came from the UO Office of Institutional Research. They cover the 2013-2014 academic year.
