Universidad de Medellín was born on February 1, 1950, when a group of outstanding young scholars in the city of Medellin became spokespeople for important sectors of the community in Antioquia. They took it upon themselves to see to the need the city had of building a higher education center where People could teach freely and at the same time assuming learning.
The ruling idea of Universidad de Medellín, ever since it was founded, has always been to offer education with freedom and without any political, racial, social, or religious constraints, or of any other sort, and to foster scientific research focusing a resolution to Colombian problems.
