A brief description of how the figure above was determined:
Waterloo counted all degree programs across the current (2021) academic calendar, and reviewed their core course requirements to determine if required courses included a sustainability-focused course from the AC-1 inventory. To count, the course had to be either a direct requirement, or if a program had an elective list (i.e. pick 2 of the following 4 courses), then it had to be mathematically necessary to take a sustainability-focused course from that list. (i.e., if a program required to select 2 from a list of 5 courses, of which 2 were sustainability-focused, this was not counted; if a program required 3 from a list of 5 courses, and 3 were sustainability-focused, this was counted). Minors, certificates, and diplomas were not counted, as they would duplicate the headcount of already included students. Both the numerator (graduates from a program with a required sustainability-focused course), and the denominator (graduates from all programs) were counted for undergraduate students only.
