In field: economics, CSR module was always at specialty course,however in 2 cases this module was optional. Whereas, in the field of management, inone case (University of Warsaw) CSR was classified as a major area.As for the module “Ecology of natural resources and protection of the environment”,the differences in the title were major and sometimes included only one part ofthe subject: from “Protection of the environment” or “Basis of environmental protection”,through “Economics of environment”, “Basis of environment economics andnatural resources” or “Economics of natural resources” to “Economics (or ecology) ofnatural resources and environmental protection”. In three universities this module wasin major area: at University of Gdansk, Bialystok University of Technology (field:management in both cases) and at Wroclaw University of Economics (field: economics).It may be assumed that authors of study curriculums decided that the module hadprimary importance for the I degree studies.Another previously mentioned module, quite similar to the previous one, is “Economyand environment” (the title was identical at different universities). This module isgenerally listed in the group of major area lectures/modules, but in one case, at II degreeof study (Koszalin University of Technology) is elective at every specialty.Next module, concerning sustainable development (in general or with reference tocities, local or regional level – depending on specialty) is more frequently incorporated108
