The Master's Degree in Sciences for Development, Sustainability and Tourism is based on an interdisciplinary vision of social reality, under the postulates of the Theory of Sustainable Development, Regional/Local Development and Human Development, focusing attention on tourist activity; since it is necessary to generate proposals for solutions to the social problems that arise in those regions where tourism activity is essential. Even though the postgraduate program focuses its attention on the phenomenon of tourism, its spectrum covers a wide number of disciplines: social sciences, particularly economics, sociology and anthropology; environmental sciences, human ecology, ecological planning and environmental impact; and urban and territorial planning, geography and urban planning, among others.
