Organization profile
The Center for General Studies at the University of the Andes (UANDES) promotes research that transcends the boundaries of traditional disciplines, focusing on the study of the great questions that concern the human person, society, and culture. Its scientific output includes articles, book chapters, reviews, and full-length books.
The Center’s research ranges from philosophy and theology to contemporary ethical challenges—for example, the doctrine of natural law within the Christian philosophical framework, and legal-ethical standards in telemedicine—demonstrating a commitment to rigorous and contemporary cultural reflection. This line of work is integrated into the general education of UANDES students through transversal courses designed to open the intellect to universal truths and to foster interdisciplinary critical thinking.
