School of Architecture and Design
Our Faculty is made up of two Departments: Architecture, founded in 1948, and Design , founded in 1994. The Faculty 's fields of training have changed over time and its academic structure has allowed programs to adapt as disciplines, technologies, and social realities of the world evolve . Our structuring axes are pedagogical innovation, transformative capacity , and sustainability (social, economic , and environmental), since with these we guarantee the training of graduates with the highest ethical, academic, and human qualities , committed to the development of the country.
We are recognized in Latin America for offering innovative programs that generate high-quality academic production. To ensure this, we promote the connection and permanence of a faculty with outstanding academic and research credentials, whose production has an impact on the local and international environment. To do so, we encourage their participation in activities managed by top-level institutions and the dissemination of their research , creative projects and innovative products .
As a Faculty, we have the priority of maintaining the high quality of our undergraduate programs . This allows us to extend the national accreditations that we have in both Departments and, in addition, brings us closer to the goal of obtaining international accreditations. We are also interested in creating and strengthening scenarios that integrate companies, institutions and the State , through long-term relationships that generate a tangible impact in the regional environment. To this end, we develop corporate programs and created La Clínica , a space that brings together these actors and uses innovative strategies to formulate solutions to complex problematic situations .
The Faculty of Architecture and Design has a Graduate School made up of five programs: Master of Architecture, Master of Design, Master of Strategic Project Management, Master of Innovation Management and Doctorate. In addition, the School offers extension and continuing education programs that seek to strengthen ties with the external public and provide them with a wide range of courses that allow them to keep up to date professionally throughout their lives.
