11 Consulting room, centers and laboratories
25 graduate programs
12 undergraduate programs
The School of Law and Social Sciences of the University represents a fundamental cornerstone of Icesi’s institutional transformation over the last two decades. The Faculty brings together the knowledge and experiences that make possible the development of teaching, research and the University’s involvement in the areas of law, anthropology, political science, psychology, sociology, history, philosophy and art.
The School's influence on university life can be grouped into two major fields:
The School has been a central player in redefining the University's educational commitment, helping to strengthen and deepen the liberal education model that allows Icesi to proudly develop professionals with knowledge, skills and attitudes that exceed disciplinary training; these graduates increasingly distinguish themselves for their creativity, good judgement, intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and autonomy, as well as for their personal, professional and public responsibility. In this respect, the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences is responsible for curricular guidelines of education in science, humanities, ethics and citizenship.
The School exercises its teaching, research and consulting tasks in the fields of law and social sciences, through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates various institutions, programs and practices, in the following areas:
Teaching: five undergraduate programs, nine specializations, five master’s degrees in advanced studies and two in research.
Research: three specialized centers, three learning and research laboratories, one observatory, and various groups and seminars.
Publications: three scientific journals (one being student based), one cultural upheaval magazine, five specialized collections, one co-publishing program and another one in the publication of articles that are in development.
Intervention: two offices in psychology and law, a mediation center and various projects and activities to support communities, foundations, non-governmental organizations, companies and public bodies on issues of social and cultural development, access to rights, minority rights, vulnerable populations, social harmony, citizenship, conflict resolution, social entrepreneurship and mental health, among others.
In conclusion, the Faculty has a noteworthy presence in the academic, recreational and cultural life of the University through several scientific and cultural events of an extracurricular nature.
The transformations of the last 20 years, in Colombia and the world, have made it clear that to act responsibly in social life it is necessary to adopt an interdisciplinary perspective.
The faculty works in such a way that alternative responses to social problems can be offered, alternatives that integrate the legal, social, political, aesthetic and cultural perspective in such a way that the problem and society's demands are attended to instead of what academic traditions require.

Ph.D in Law
Head of the Department of Legal Studies
The department of legal studies offers the university community the opportunity to be educated in legal matters, through courses, seminars, workshops, training and consulting; these learning instruments are offered in the areas of undergraduate and postgraduate studies, and continuing education.
The general objective of the department is to contribute to the study of law (from a contemporary perspective) by analyzing the different issues involving the discipline, to allow discussion and debate around them.
More specifically, the legal studies department aims to contribute to the consolidation of a local and regional legal culture that is favorable to the notion of law as an instrument for solving social problems in a mediated and efficient manner.
Ph.D. America, constitutions, doctrines and institutions
Head of the Department of Political Studies
The department of political studies is a proponent of political reflection (from a broad and inclusive perspective) that is believed to be a blend between the power relationships exercised by social actors in the public domain and the basic rules of conduct that affect their behavior.
Emphasis is placed on the public sphere as an area that helps to define the field of work. In this sense, when power relationships are discussed, the intention is to address those that fall within the public domain; this demarcation does not intend to exhaust the phenomenon of power or extend it to all forms of human relationships.
Head of the Humanities Department
The department of arts and humanities responds to the University’s desire to promote interdisciplinary education and to have a balance between a professional and open education that offers students new knowledge, concepts and tools to improve their performance in their daily lives and in the field of work. It also responds to the academic demands of excellence and quality, to the promotion of values such as tolerance, autonomy and respect, and to the development of skills in critical thinking, argumentation, and reading and writing.
Ph.D. in anthropology
Head of the Department of Social Studies
The department of social studies approaches the social field as a framework of processes, relationships and institutions, that shape contemporary societies. Through our teaching, research and consulting activities, we seek to understand the different tensions that shape the contemporary world and that are caused by various factors (such as local versus global and innovation versus tradition) and by processes of inclusion, exclusion and recognition. The department is interested not only in understanding phenomena of different scales and durations, but also in the possibility of assisting and guiding the development of societies with greater justice and democracy, thereby lending a special support to what occurs in the region.
Ph.D.
Head of the Department of Psychological Studies
The Department of Psychological Studies of the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences at Universidad Icesi is composed of a group of professors with the highest academic qualities, and who have completed their postgraduate studies at prestigious national and foreign universities. In addition to the valuable work that the department has been developing in the training of future professionals with the highest skills, it undertakes interdisciplinary study and research of different themes that are a priority for the city and the region. The professors of the department have defined the research line Subjectivity, Culture and Institutions as the thematic axis for the development of their research work.
Jefe del Departamento de Música
In response to the needs of contemporary society, the Music Department promotes academic processes that foster the comprehensive training of musicians, and provides, through courses, research and other academic activities, high-quality music education with a focus on the development of musical language and production.
In addition, the department is aligned with the university's proposal of a liberating education focused on the exercise of autonomy, and in which, through its core curriculum and active learning, sensitive citizens and professionals are capable of forging a better society.
Head of the Department of Comunication in Digital Environments
The Department of Communication in Digital Environments is an academic unit attached to the School of Law and Social Sciences at the Universidad Icesi. It is interdisciplinary in nature and proposes a critical, creative and strategic look at communication in the digital context.
The Department is characterised by a team of professors with very broad and diverse academic and professional backgrounds in the field of communication and social sciences. This is why, as researchers and creators, the Department's lecturers are involved in research projects and communication, artistic and cultural initiatives of great scope in the city and the country, thus generating dynamics of transfer, appropriation and creation of knowledge.
In terms of teaching, they are responsible for the design, updating and incorporation of curricular content for the Communication Programme and other undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education programmes and areas of the University.
The faculty members participate in two research groups that have achieved recognition from Colciencias, the Colombian government agency that encourages, registers and reports quality research carried out in universities and research centers. The publications, research plans, as well as the members of the group can be consulted in the register of research groups of Colciencias. The faculty has a policy that all members must belong to one of the research groups, and their resumes must remain updated in the Colciencias database.
The group works, on the one hand, on the follow-up of different theoretical and empirical developments concerning the construction of democracy in the country, and seeks to articulate the conceptualization of politics, with the study of cultural, political and legal practices in the configuration of the region, without losing sight of its local, national and global relations. On the other hand, it attempts to understand the processes of social, economic, technological and legal transformation of organizations, as well as the conflicts derived from these transformations and their social, moral and legal consequences, for individuals and associated local and global communities.
This group is organized by discipline, with the purpose of strengthening legal research. Its work focuses on two avenues: the first one has been devoted to elaborating studies of critical legal dogmatics, in the areas of public and private law. Although the distinction between public and private is recognized as useful for the understanding and operation of law, at the same time, the processes of transformation of the state and of the Law justify a vision that goes beyond the traditional.
The second line of work is equally critical in nature, but it focuses on descriptive and evaluative work in various areas of law.
