  ABSTRACT: Sustainability and sustainable development have aroused many debates and actions in all facets of human endeavors, including in developing countries. This study examined the extent to which tertiary business schools in Ghana embrace sustainability in their curricula. By using programs advertised on their respective institutions’ websites for the 2022-2023 academic year, and looking for programs that have sustainability or sustainability as a prefix. Additionally, the author relied on the examination timetable of the selected institutions for sustainability prefixes. The researcher finds that sustainability education in tertiary business faculties in Ghana is alarmingly low; despite the fact that corporate social responsibility as a course is taught in accounting courses, it is not enough to address sustainability issues in business faculties. This study recommends that it behooves the government and education regulators in partnership with large corporations to institute schemes that could entice business schools to include sustainability issues in their business education curricula.
