Testimonials
"Having decided to study Liberal Arts has allowed me to have an opening in a wide range of alternatives. The richness of this diversity of perspectives has to do with the career's curriculum and the work of some professors, especially in concrete projects that go beyond theory. This has pushed me to gain experience in practical and field work, particularly in Anthropology."

"The Liberal Arts program allows for the exploration of various concerns and interests through the combination of Social Sciences (History, Anthropology, Sociology) and Humanities (Philosophy, Art History and Literature) in a single career. My experience studying Arts Liberals taught me that the acquired learning goes beyond a training limited to a single field or professional activity, since professors inspire us to be in constant search and prepare us to research and develop projects with an interdisciplinary approach. adjusts to the intellectual concerns of each student and fosters a critical perspective that transcends everyday life."

"Studying Liberal Arts teaches you to observe the world with critical eyes. The tools you acquire inside and outside the classroom allow you to navigate a world in constant transformation, dive into the depths of human thought or rise to its most inspiring and unusual expressions. It is the perfect complement for knowledge-hungry minds, for those who are willing to be amazed."
-Valentina Bravo, Liberal Arts, Specialization in Literature, Philosophy and Translation -
"In my freshman year of college I was taught that Humanities are accused of lacking a 'eureka!' moment, that is, an occasion when all theory and training gives way to experimentation with a discovery. An 'eureka moment "It is a fascinating emotion generated by the triumph of learning and the desire to continue to know. As a Liberal Arts student I contradicted this prejudice against Humanities permanently. In each class and with each professor, I had the opportunity to discover unexpected connections between contradictory themes, between historical moments, between aesthetics, people and nations. I also had the opportunity and the absolute freedom to expand and increase my list of academic and professional interests. In addition to being able to better understand the phenomena of the world. When they ask me if I like my career, I always say that I love it. "
