This study evaluates the impact of the Learning Unit (LU), Environment and Sustainability, taught to all students of Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL), on consumption habits and environmental culture, during pandemic. As a study population, students from Facultad de Ciencias Químicas (FCQ) and Facultad de Economía (FAECO) were considered, with the objective of comparing the impact of the LU before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, considering various indicators of consumption habits. A quantitative method was used, based on the results of two surveys applied, one at FAECO during the pandemic and the other at FCQ before the pandemic, both careers of UANL. For this purpose, a study was carried out with a representative stratified statistical design by gender and semesters, with an exploratory-descriptive nature, and with a quantitative-qualitative approach. The procedure followed was design and apply the same survey to both careers, collect the data, to finally analyze the results of both databases. The results show that during COVID-19, college students showed a positive behavior in consumption habits in terms of disposables after having completed the LU. One of the areas of opportunity for future research is the comparability of student results before and after taking the course.
