Quality and excellence
We are an educational benchmark at the local and national level, thanks to our academic offerings consisting of thirteen undergraduate programs, seventeen specializations, seven master's degrees, and three doctorates, of which 75% of the accreditable programs have high-quality recognition.
Additionally, we offer a wide range of courses, diplomas, and learning pathways through the Center for Continuing Education and Nodo, the new center for training and transformation in technologies at Universidad EAFIT.
All our knowledge and expertise are framed within the six areas of our School: Fundamental Sciences, Natural Systems and Sustainability; Territories and Cities; Industry, Materials and Energy; Computing and Analytics; Product and Experience Design; and Life and Care Sciences. Within these areas, we have a highly qualified faculty that ensures the quality of our educational and research efforts.
Our School also hosts the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, and the Center for Laboratories, CLAB, which contribute to internal academic and research development, and provide solutions to various productive and governmental sectors, strengthening our relationships with the environment and generating economic, social, and environmental value and development.
Transformative campus
We are supported by an ecosystem of laboratories to create and experiment
Our School is supported by a large ecosystem of laboratories: we have 43 of them equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure.
We have a new building fully equipped for applied sciences and engineering, built with the idea of generating low environmental impact, and designed to be sustainable with the efficient use of energy, air care, waste management and mobility. All integrated into the work of researchers, students, nurseries and laboratory heads, constituting a true gear of research and open learning; available to the student community.
Our campus is a living, active and natural space and a stage for experimentation and learning for the subjects of biology, design, urban planning, among others.
We have an active academic, cultural and social agenda
Knowledge is visible and permeates every corner of the University.
We have a knowledge and living culture agenda: The best of academia, science and the arts converge in EAFIT.
We are a key player in a university city
Medellín is ranked second as the best university city at the regional level, according to the ICU (University Cities Index); and it is the first city in Latin America to enter the PASCAL Network of learning cities. Every year EAFIT receives hundreds of students from more than 15 countries and 446 from other territories in Colombia.
Living and active learning
Our students are at the center and shape their curriculum
Our School is the first to implement a curricular transformation strategy that allows our students greater flexibility and personalization of their undergraduate studies, with a curriculum structured based on competencies and learning outcomes that comply with the new provisions of the Ministry of National Education (Decree 1330 and Resolution 21795).
Thanks to these transformations and the new modular structure of our programs, undergraduate students will be able to enhance their professional profile and choose the areas in which they wish to deepen their training through flexible and professional pathways. Additionally, the possibilities of double programs in our School will be expanded, thanks to the convergence of study plans in fundamental training in science and engineering.
Innovation and leadership
We are innovation in education
Our students are continuously exposed to conversations and processes with real cases and with graduates. They also have multidisciplinary training thanks to the five EAFIT schools and the areas of knowledge that comprise them.
73% of our professors have a docotrate degree or PHd equivalent.
We cultivate early leadership and research
At EAFIT we have 14 student groups, with more than 1,500 members, in which leadership skills are developed through practice.
As a school we have more than 20 research groups and more than 60 seedbeds focused on experimentation and the development of practical technologies.
Connections and incidence
We are a universe of work for public, organizations and active entrepreneurship
We have the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, which promotes processes in which the urban technical knowledge is combined with the knowledge of the communities, transforming the landscape and the intrastructures in favor of sustainability. This gives our students access to first-hand knowledge from professionals with experience and a track record in the topics of urban planning, decision-making in the public sphere and influence in private companies and organizations that have to do with these issues.
We work hand in hand with NODO, the EAFIT technology training center, a space where the material is transformed and put at the service of the real challenges of organizations, creating practical and exponential learning processes in topics related to web development.
We have an Engineering and Science magazine that presents and disseminates basic and applied research works that contribute to the development of technology, science and industry.
We have a study and impact center, Valor Público, and a space for innovation and social development: EAFITSocial.
At EAFIT we have a special line of Management and Business that provides consulting and also ON.going, the EAFIThigh-impact entrepreneurship center, which connects with the problem and society. More than 21 business landings and impact ventures are based at our university.
Our professors are in permanent contact with organizations, research and with the best universities in the world, as well as, with the problems that affect our society.
We are a gateway to the world
As a university, we have 260 international agreements, 190 partner institutions in 10 countries around the world, approximately 200 students who go on exchange abroad, and teacher exchange and research programs.
We train entrepreneurs
From 2018 to 2022, 782 of our undergraduate graduates at EAFITand 103 graduates have started their own ventures. 12 of them are on the list of the 100 best start-ups in Colombia.
