Accreditation of the Architecture Program

December 23, 2016
The Architecture program has once again been accredited for the maximum term under the ARCU-SUR Accreditation Mechanism. This accreditation certifies that the program and the institution offering it meet the academic quality criteria jointly established by the agencies of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela. On December 15, 2016, a ceremony was held at the Higher Education Division of the Ministry of Education and Culture to present plaques to the accredited programs, attended by the Minister, Dr. María Julia Muñoz.

The accreditation process lasted over a year, during which the program conducted a self-evaluation, the results of which were compiled into a report submitted in April 2016, and received a visit from external peer reviewers in September.

The Ad Hoc Accreditation Commission, under the Ministry of Education and Culture, issued its accreditation decision for the program in December 2016.

This program was first accredited in December 2009.
