Strengths of the academic program

STUDY OF THE THREE SPECIALTIES OF PSYCHOLOGY

Our proposal includes studies of the main specialties of Psychology: Clinical, Educational and Organizational. This seeks to give the student a comprehensive and in-depth training in Psychology, which will allow them to have a global view of Psychology and the acquisition of experiences and knowledge that will open doors in a future job market.

HUMANISTIC APPROACH

In the course, an orientation is developed that has the human person as its center, emphasizing its existential aspects, different from a psychology focused on specific aspects such as behaviors, neurology or intervention techniques. Together with the students, the existential, personal and human variables of people are studied, aiming to create a psychology with a soul.
