Bachelor in Sustainability Science and Management Program

Tunghai University, located in Central Taiwan, offers the Sustainability Science and Management Program at the undergraduate level, covering the study of how environmental, social, and economic systems interact and how organizations can be managed with sustainability in mind. Sustainability science as a field draws on environmental science, ecology, and earth systems knowledge to understand issues such as resource use, climate change, and ecosystem health, while the management component addresses how businesses, governments, and organizations plan and operate in ways that reduce environmental impact and support long-term resource stewardship. Students in a program of this kind typically study environmental science fundamentals, principles of sustainable development, corporate sustainability practices, environmental policy, and management topics such as strategy and organizational behavior applied to sustainability challenges. The curriculum generally aims to give students both a scientific understanding of environmental systems and the management skills needed to implement sustainability initiatives within organizations. Graduates of undergraduate programs in sustainability science and management pursue careers in corporate sustainability and environmental, social, and governance roles, environmental consulting, non-governmental organizations focused on conservation or sustainable development, and public sector positions related to environmental policy and planning. Central Taiwan's mix of industry and agriculture provides relevant context for studying sustainability in a regional economy that must balance development with environmental considerations. As instruction is delivered in English, the program is designed to be accessible to international students as well as domestic ones, reflecting the global nature of sustainability challenges and the professional field addressing them. A bachelor's degree in this field typically prepares graduates for entry-level sustainability roles or further study at the graduate level.
