Goal 3 - Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 for the year 2030.

AUSN Courses that focus on this SDG include:

Bioethics and Genetics (BEGE)  

Core Concepts in Bioethics & Cultural Frameworks (CCBE)  

Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health (EBPH) 

Essentials of Community Health (ESCH)

Essentials of Health Behavior (ESHB)

Essentials of Public Health (ESPH) 

Healthcare Finance and Economics (HFEC)

Healthcare Management (HCMT)

Human Research Subject Protection (HRSP)

Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Public Health Care (IKSH) 

Public Health Law, Ethics & Policy Analysis (PHLE)

Public Health Preparedness and Bio-terrorism (PHPB)

There are Masters and PhD degree options that follow this SDG Curriculum to discuss all aspects of sustainable development at the American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN), available around the world. Additional related topics are included in a variety of Advanced Research Seminar Courses. Applications for scholarships are made through submission of the Application form (in Word).

The SDG Curriculum is presented on the individual pages for each goal.  The SDGs are part of Resolution 70/1 of the United Nations General Assembly, the 2030 Agenda. The goals are broad based and interdependent. The 17 sustainable development goals each have a list of targets that are measured with indicators. There are 169 targets for the 17 goals. Each target has between 1 and 3 indicators used to measure progress toward reaching the targets.

We welcome other partners to contribute materials, and for users to submit feedback and suggestions.

Where available, translations of the materials are also available.

Partner Organisations for the SDG Curriculum project are:

Accredited Universities of Sovereign Nations

American University of Sovereign Nations, USA

Eubios Ethics Institute, Japan, New Zealand and Thailand

International Peace and Development Ethics Center, Thailand

Sikh Human Rights Group, UK

DST-NRF Centre in Indigenous Knowledge Systems, University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

This platform is an intellectual forum for intercultural dialogue that upholds the value of academic freedom for everyone, and the views expressed in the videos and materials are not those of any partner. Many other videos are available on AUSN Youtube Video channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf5OCcH1amxzkqA30Tv_9XA),
