Digital University, Sustainability, and Enterprise Architecture Alignment

The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between digital universities, sustainability, and enterprise architecture in the literature; to reveal existing models, trends, and gaps; and to offer transformation-oriented implications for higher education institutions. In addition to a conceptual discussion, the study provides an analytical evaluation framework that can be linked to strategic planning processes. Based on academic literature from the Web of Science (WOS) database, digital university applications, sustainability strategies, and enterprise architecture frameworks have been systematically examined. This approach has enabled a methodologically consistent comparison of scattered concepts in the literature and created an interdisciplinary synthesis. The findings are expected to contribute to the structuring of new generation transformation paradigms in universities from a holistic perspective and to provide an analytical reference framework, especially for managers who conduct strategic decision-making processes.
