Embedded SDGs in Undergraduate Business Sustainability Programs Curricula
Journal of Education for Business, v99 n5 p333-344 2024
The aim of this article was to identify the embedded Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) in undergraduate business sustainability programs curricula. A purposive sample of 23 programs was analyzed. The sources of data were the secondary data published by the universities about the program curricula, together with the course descriptions. Course descriptions were analyzed. This study revealed that the most aligned SDG is goal 12: responsible consumption and production. The programs were clustered according to the sustainability dimensions of the embedded SDGs in three general clusters. The courses differed in their alignment with the SDGs. This is one of the few studies investigating the degree of alignment between the undergraduate curricula of business sustainability programs and the SDGs.
