Abstract: Purpose: The objective of this study is to assess the level of ecological footprint awareness among students studying in the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, where sustainability issues are incorporated into the curriculum. Additionally, the study aims to examine potential variations in ecological footprint awareness based on demographic characteristics. Design/Methodology: In the study, a face-to-face survey was conducted with 283 participants, based on the sample determined by simple random sampling method. The data obtained was analyzed with the SPSS program. Findings: As a result of the analysis; It was determined that the General Awareness of Ecological Footprint of the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences students was at a high level. In addition, significant relationships were found between the students' ecological footprint awareness and some demographic characteristics. Limitations: The limitation of the research is that the sample consists only of students from the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (Business Administration, Economics, SBKY) in Nevşehir. Originality/Value: Despite intensive studies in other fields, the fact that no study has been found within the scope of the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences students and specifically for the province of Nevşehir, and that it has reached results that can contribute, constitutes the original value of the research.
