This article presents the level of institutionalization of Colombian universities’ commitment to sustainability. The study addresses five institutional areas: governance and participation, environmental teaching and training, environmental research, environmental and social outreach, and environmental management and planning. It is carried out by administering a survey to 60 higher education institutions in Colombia. For the analysis of results, descriptive statistic indicators are used. Results show that Colombian universities have progressed in their commitment to sustainability, but are still at a low level on the scale used in the research. Only the environmental teaching and training area has reached a medium level.
