You will strengthen five skills so that you can perform efficiently in the academic and professional fields

To understand the local and international context in which you operate, it is vital that we change paradigms. These courses focus on developing five skills that are necessary for your present and future:

Communication

Critical questioning

Innovation and Entrepreneurship

research and exploration

Ethical sense and social justice

Core subjects such as Spanish, English, Social Sciences, History and Humanities are transformed into interdisciplinary courses that cover content that develops these five competencies.

Our goal is to educate people with the necessary skills to function in today's world; responsible people willing to participate in improving the quality of life of their communities, who are not content to be spectators, but rather take on a leading role in the service of their people.
