Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

To determine this credit, we first examined the overall learning outcomes for specific degrees. These degrees were the same as those included in ER-10 and ER-11.

The next step was to compare the list of required courses within degrees to the list of sustainability-focused and sustainability-related courses reported in ER-6 and ER-7. If a required course was included within these lists, the program was also counted.

Following identification of programs, specializations, etc. the number of graduates for each of the programs was included for the most recent year data was available.
