School of Social Work

THE ROAD TO

Excellence

The School of Social Work is an academic unit consolidated in its area of knowledge that has national and international recognition given its trajectory of more than fifty years of academic development. It currently offers two programs: The Undergraduate Social Work and the Master’s Degree in Social Intervention.

The Social Work program of the Industrial University of Santander, was created in 1963, at that time originated as an academic unit attached to the Universidad Femenina de Santander (UFS).  Three years later, when the “UIS-UFS” Integration was carried out through Superior Agreement No. 17 of September 27, 1966, this program, together with others in the area of health, are incorporated by the UIS and in this way the seed of the current Faculties of Human Sciences and Health emerges. In the UIS begins with students in 1967 and has its first formal registration through Resolution 0873 of April 10 of 1968 issued by the Ministry of National Education.
