Thanks to our Inter-faculty Cooperation Program, students from a specific faculty or career can take courses from another faculty, which consolidates the student's integral formation, or apply to the teacher training program, which is coordinated by the School of Education.

Half of them are in the health area, due to the fact that the university has branches in several hospitals where postgraduate students in medicine can carry out their studies in the corresponding specialization while maintaining contact and closeness to the patient, which characterizes our graduates all over the world.
The institution has more than 40 research centers and institutes, where postgraduate studies and individualized doctorates are also carried out in the area of study chosen by the participant, who can discuss with the coordinator of the area and his or her tutor the line of research he or she wishes to follow.
