UNIVERSIDAD ANÁHUAC HOLISTIC EDUCATIONAL MODEL

Holistic education is the essential component of the UA educational model, with students being placed at the core of a teaching-learning process designed to help them reach their full potential and harmoniously develop all their skills.

Through their college years, students take an active role in a learning process that encourages their development across a range of different dimensions: human, intellectual, professional, social, and spiritual. This means that, while students acquire a strong academic background in their chosen field of study, they also have ample opportunity to guide their lives and careers towards the pursuit of the common good, thus finding personal and professional fulfillment.
