Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
NSC has a large number of students that transfer to a 4 year univerity and do not acquire a degree. The actual number of graduates are provided here: http://seattlecolleges.edu/district/district/facts.aspx All graduates must take an integrated studies course and includes a sustainability learning outcome. Since the new ELOs were only recently approved, the integration into a greater breadth of classes is still being developed.
