The present paper represents a theoretical-analytical foray into the options for achieving sustainability in higher education institutions. The purpose of the research is to identify the possibilities of achieving sustainability within higher education institutions. In the context of the multiple crises faced by the world economy, there is a need to identify effective solutions to overcome the crises. One of them is sustainability, which represents a strategic approach to the development of higher education institutions in a new context, one disrupted by massive crises that require rapid adaptation, through the prism of changing the management model of higher education institutions. Sustainability represents an effective lever in achieving strategic development, increasing the visibility of higher education institutions, in the context of the emergence towards postmodern education. The research methodology focused on the use of multiple methods such as: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abduction, comparative analysis.
