Facultad de Ciencias Económicas UNC

What Facultad de Ciencias Económicas UNC does

The Facultad de Ciencias Económicas is a public university faculty within the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), the oldest university in Argentina (founded 1613). Established in the 1930s-1940s, the Faculty delivers undergraduate degrees in Public Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Economics Teaching, and University Management, alongside graduate programs (doctorates, master's, specializations) through its Escuela de Graduados. Five academic departments and four research institutes (CICE, IEF celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2025, Instituto de Estadística y Demografía, Instituto de Contabilidad, Instituto de Administración) constitute the academic backbone. The Faculty operates a tri-modal learning stack: on-campus instruction, Moodle-based Aulas Virtuales, and a Ciclo Básico a Distancia (CBD) remote program, with student administration running on the SIU-Guaraní platform and digital workflows on the Portal de Trámites.

Under its CFC (Modalidad de Cursado en Formato Combinado) model introduced in 2023, classes combine in-person and remote attendance. Pedagogical modernization is supported by the PINES first-year mentorship program (launched 2020) and the #NuevasRutinas schedule optimization. Beyond teaching, the Faculty maintains extension services through programs such as Consultorio FIC (financial advisory for the popular economy), Güemes Solidario, and Compromiso Social Estudiantil.

As a public state institution, the Faculty has no commercial revenue model. Argentine residents access degrees tuition-free under national higher-education law; funding flows through state allocations to UNC. Complementary revenue sources include paid continuing-education diplomaturas (in data science/AI, innovation management with Evoltis, China business culture, etc.), professional training courses via the Secretaría de Extensión, and research grants distributed via SECYT. Distribution to prospective students spans an institutional website, a six-channel social presence (YouTube, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), the Contando Virtual email newsletter, Colegas en Red alumni platform, and physical events such as the Eco Tour open house and CORE annual research conference.
