Six itineraries of specialization

Accredited by the National Agency for Assessment of Quality and Accreditation (Agencia Nacional de assessment de la Calidad and accreditation), the MICS is coordinated by the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) and counts with the direct partnership of the Schools of Communication, Law, Education and Psychology, Nursing, and Philosophy and Letters.

The program is offered as a gateway to entrance for students who wish to enter the interdisciplinary research in the social sciences. Its training program allows students to specialize in six tracks: Communication, Geodemography, Linguistics, Education and Psychology, Law and Nursing.

Students who complete the Master's Degree will be equipped with methodological tools and analytical skills that will enable them to carry out quantitative and qualitative programs of study of social and cultural reality, as well as to lead interdisciplinary work in a wide range of companies and public and private organizations.
