Number of courses/subjects related to sustainability offered

In the 2024 academic year, National Chiayi University (NCYU) offered 3,408 courses incorporating sustainability principles across all colleges, including agriculture, life sciences, education, humanities, and engineering. These courses address diverse themes such as environmental conservation, renewable energy, community engagement, and cultural sustainability—comprehensively aligning with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  Beyond formal courses, NCYU promotes micro-credit programs like “Discovery Chiayi” and community-based experiential learning under the principle of “learning by doing.” In 2024, the university particularly strengthened SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through general education and interdisciplinary initiatives, exemplifying its role as a model of a sustainable and community-engaged university.
