What unrc does

The Facultad de Ciencias Humanas (FCH) is a constituent academic faculty of the Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto (UNRC), a publicly funded national university located in Río Cuarto, Córdoba Province, Argentina. It delivers free undergraduate and postgraduate education in human sciences disciplines — including education, communication, history, philosophy, geography, nursing, physical education, social work, and law — serving prospective students from the Río Cuarto region and postgraduate learners nationally via hybrid and virtual modalities. The faculty operates under the Argentine national university system with CONEAU oversight and holds Category A accreditation for its Doctorado en Ciencias Sociales (Resolución 644/19). Its digital product portfolio is anchored by an Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3.4.0.8 platform hosting nine peer-reviewed academic journals (Coordenadas, Cronia, Temas y Problemas de Comunicación, Contextos de Educación, Tefros, Anti, Cultura en Red, and others), supplemented by the Portal de Libros FCH in partnership with UniRío Editora for academic book publishing. Cultural and extension offerings include the Cine por la Diversidad film cycle (run jointly with Centro Cultural Leonardo Favio), the #Entramadxs multimedia publication series, the Bosque de la Poesía Glauce Baldovin cultural space, and the #PensemosDiverso gender and diversity program funded under the SPU's 'Universidad, Cultura y Territorio' program.

The faculty does not operate a commercial revenue model: tuition is free for all students as a public institution, and there are no commercial SaaS products, APIs, or paid consumer offerings. Funding flows from Argentine national government budget allocations to UNRC. Strategic and operational positioning is shaped by government policy, national quality frameworks (CONEAU, CONICET), and coordination with other Argentine public universities (UNC, UNVM) and research institutes (ISTE-CONICET-UNRC). Stakeholder relationships are mediated through institutional channels — SISINFO for student information, EVELIA for virtual learning, Imprenta UNRC for printing, and a multi-channel presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and the institutional website. Decision-making and governance are exercised through the Consejo Directivo (Directorial Council), with the Decano (Cristian Santos) and Vicedecana (Silvina Barroso) leading the management team.
