| About Us | Colombia’s first secular university, the Universidad Externado de Colombia was founded in 1886 by a group of progressive intellectuals. It was formed in resistance to Colombia’s dictatorship of the time and the traditional boarding-school/catechistic model of education. It took its name from the progressive outside ideas, mostly from Europe, which it continues to espouse - “a pluralist philosophy open to all currents of thought, foreign to dogmatism and respectful of all religious creeds and political ideologies”. Based in an 11-building campus on the edge of Bogota’s La Candelaria district, it currently has more than 12,000 students studying in faculties of tourism, education, social and human Science, communication and journalism, public accounting, law, economics, government and international relations, cultural heritage and finance. | |
