Universidad INCCA de Colombia

Universidad INCCA de Colombia (INCCA, originally an acronym for Instituto Colombiano de Ciencias Administrativas) is a private, non-profit Colombian university headquartered in Bogotá. It was founded on 15 July 1955 by Dr. Jaime Quijano Caballero, who envisioned a more accessible, critical and interdisciplinary model of higher education for Colombia. The institution was legally constituted from its origin as an autonomous private-law foundation of common utility, without profit motive, and received its legal personality (personería jurídica) in 1963. It was officially recognized by the Colombian State in 1970 and operates under the inspection and oversight of the Ministry of Education of Colombia, in accordance with Law 30 of 1992 and Law 1740 of 2014. INCCA has historically positioned itself as a pioneer in integrating emerging and applied disciplines. During the 1960s and 1970s it was an early adopter of fields such as cybernetics, systems engineering, food engineering and agrarian economics. In the 1980s it strengthened its national presence, expanding its undergraduate and postgraduate offerings and its research centres, consolidating its campus in central Bogotá and creating practical training spaces such as legal clinics and technical laboratories. After the death of its founder in 1991, the university renewed its commitment to its founding values, updating its academic structure while preserving its philosophical essence. Today the university offers a broad portfolio of undergraduate programs — including Business Administration, Biology, Physical Culture and Sport, Law, Statistics, Food Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Early Childhood Education, Music and Psychology — alongside a range of specializations (such as Human Rights, Environmental Management, Management of Artistic Industries, ICT Management, Digital Law Management, Agro-industrial Management, Water Resource Management and Sustainable Production Management) and a Master's program in Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding. It markets itself with a multicultural and plurilingual educational model, flexible study modes (remote, daytime and evening), and its own "INCC'onnection" methodology, and states that 92% of its graduates find employment within their first year. The university is part of the BC Group educational network (Red Educativa British Columbia), which enables strategic alliances with institutions such as CENDA, Taller 5, the Cambridge Schools and the Liceo Francés Internacional de Bogotá. Its main campus is located at Carrera 13 No. 24-15 in Bogotá, with numerous additional sites across the city. INCCA presents itself as an institution dedicated to critical thinking, social commitment and the formation of leaders capable of transforming their environment.
