The Universidad de los Andes starts the new millennium as a center of recognised academic excellence in Colombia and Latin America. Since its foundation in 1948, the University has taken up a commitment to the formation of an intellectual, technical and humanist elite, which has played an active role in the production of thought, science and progress in this country. Los Andes has also brought in major scientific and technological advances recently developed around the world, and it disseminated them; and today, it has taken up the leadership of a mission to face the challenges of the internationalisation of our economy, and of technical, social and cultural changes now occurring around the world.
The University is an autonomous and independent institution that fosters pluralism, diversity, dialogue, debate, criticism, tolerance and respect for ideas, beliefs and values of its members. Also, it seeks academic excellence, and offers its students a critical and ethical formation designed to strengthen their awareness of a their social and civic responsibilities, and their commitment to the analysis of the problems of their country, and the quest for its solutions. For this purpose, Los Andes develops and implements innovative methods in teaching and research, designed to make students the main agent of their own formation, and to solve problems presented to them with creativity and responsibility.
Further, as part of its encouragement of integrated formation, the University provides an interdisciplinary environment with all the flexibility required for the integration of the arts, the sciences, technology and the humanities.
