        Confucius Institute of Medellín ​


        Due to China’s enhanced global standing, it is increasingly necessary to learn Mandarin and become familiar with the customs of that country’s ancient culture. For this reason, EAFIT, Universidad de Antioquia, and the Medellín municipal government formed an alliance with the People’s Republic of China that led to the establishment of a Confucius Institute in the city in 2010. The southern branch of that cultural establishment is located in one of the houses the university acquired in the Aguacatala neighborhood. ​

        Spanish for Foreigners ​


        Part of the Language Division, this program enables foreigners to effectively develop their communicative competence in the Spanish language. The program provides participants with comprehensive support that includes assistance with obtaining a visa, getting to Medellín, finding housing, and opening a bank account. It also offers students the chance to enjoy additional social, tourist, and cultural activities. 

        Cultural Life

        The EAFIT campus is a space where the creation, support for, and dissemination of different artistic disciplines fosters the multifaceted development of the university community and the general public.

In addition, the Artistic Development Department sponsors activities including exhibits featuring the work of amateur EAFIT artists, training courses for students and the public, and groups that promote dance, music, and literature.​

          EAFIT’s Arts Center is located on the first floor of the Luis Echavarría Villegas Cultural Center and Library and contains two exhibition spaces.

          A part of the Cultural Promotion Area, the center was founded in 1999 with the goal of disseminating the work of modern and classical artists, both Colombian and foreign.

In this regard, the Human Development-University Wellbeing Division promotes the wellbeing of everyone on campus: students, faculty and administrative staff, alumni, and retirees. This division also seeks to promote its members’ future prospects, self-improvement, and personal and professional growth based on a philosophy of mutual care and concern.

            Student Development ​​

            Students are the university’s purpose, and therefore a permanent effort is made to support and accompany them in their academic, professional, and personal formation.

Its services include first aid, general medical check-ups, dental services (under an agreement with CES), nutritional consults (under agreements with third parties), health prevention and promotion activities such as the Health Fair, vaccination and blood drives, and a health services directory.

            Academic Programs

The academic departments that make up those schools offer 25 undergraduate degrees, 47 masters’ degrees, six doctoral programs, and 38 graduate certificate programs.

            ​​​​​Undergraduate P​​rograms:

            University Community

              Students

              Nearly 9,600 undergraduate students and 3,061 graduate students are enrolled in the undergraduate, graduate certificate, master’s degree, and doctoral programs offered by the schools of Administration, Applied Sciences and Engineering, Arts and Humanities, Law, and Finance, Economics and Government. This student community enjoys numerous benefits that extend beyond academics, including cultural, athletic, and outreach opportunities.  Students hail not only from Medellín and the Valle de Aburrá metropolitan area, but from other regions of Colombia, especially the Atlantic Coast and the Eje Cafetero (Coffee Growing Axis). And it is increasingly common to see young people of other nationalities at our institution. Over the past several years, EAFIT has also set its sights on building an elite academic community that contributes to regional and national progress. As part of that mission, it offers a scholarship program that benefits nearly 23 percent of the student body.

              Faculty and Administrative Staff​​​

              The faculty is made up of nearly 1000 full-time and part-time professors who impart their knowledge and motivate students to strive for academic and research excellence. Thanks to a campaign to boost its faculty’s credentials, 92 percent of EAFIT’s professors hold a master’s or doctorate degree.  EAFIT’s human talent also includes 1,318 administrative employees whose professionalism and commitment help ensure fulfillment of the institution’s objectives.

              Alumni​

              EAFIT makes its mark on society through its nearly 60,000 alumni, who have distinguished themselves in the private, public, and social sectors of Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia, and other parts of the world. Studies conducted by the Labor Observatory for Education confirm that EAFIT graduates are highly sought after in different sectors and are among the best remunerated in Colombia.

              Children and Senior Citizens​​

              Academic training at EAFIT begins from an early age thanks to the Children’s University, a program that promotes knowledge acquisition by drawing on kids’ natural curiosity. This initiative brings the university’s storehouse of scientific knowledge to some 659 children between the ages of seven and 17 from public and private schools. The program is divided into three phases: Question-Based Encounters, Knowledge Expeditions, and Science Projects. Each combines playful elements, reflections, and observations to build scientific knowledge that transforms these young minds and provides them with a fresh perspective on how to foster the country’s social development.  What is more, the learning process never ends at EAFIT. The Knowledge for Life program, part of the Continuing Education Center, offers courses in different academic areas, wellness classes, and international programs for senior citizens. Some 586 participants benefit from this program at the Medellín campus as well as at EAFIT Bogotá, EAFIT Pereira, and EAFIT Llanogrande.

              Facts

              EAFIT currently has five degree-offering schools (as well as the non-degree School of Languages). The academic departments that make up these schools offer 25 undergraduate programs, 47 masters’ degrees, six doctorates, and 38 graduate certificate programs.
