About the program

The Doctorate in Educational Sciences at the University of Cundinamarca, besides being the first at the University of Cundinamarca, and the only one so far in the region offered by a public higher education institution, has special relevance when considering the essential elements of the context in which it is situated.

It is a pioneering doctorate in terms of the extremely high levels of training required, desired, and deserved by a region which, although close to the country's political, economic, institutional, and educational center, and despite making progress in raising the levels of professional, technological, and socio-humanistic training, has largely lacked doctoral programs that contribute to positioning the regional population of Cundinamarca at the highest educational levels, resulting in the projection of comprehensive territorial development, in harmony with its imminent integration into the national and international spheres.

The integration of educational dynamics, knowledge, vitality, and regional and local culture into global knowledge and global education processes for the elevation of human development levels and the recognition of the importance of the territory and its value as an enhancer of the population's quality of life, based on the provision of training at the highest educational, pedagogical-educational, and scientific-research level, constitutes the greatest and best distinguishing feature of our academic program.
