Los Andes University (Spanish: Universidad de los Andes), also commonly self-styled as Uniandes,[1] is a coeducational, nonsectarian private research university located in the city center of Bogotá, Cundinamarca, Colombia. Founded in 1948 by a group of Colombian intellectuals led by Mario Laserna Pinzón, it was the first Colombian university established as nonsectarian, that is, independent from any political party or religious institution.[2][7]
The University is academically comprised of 9 faculties, 3 special academic entities[8] —the Alberto Lleras Camargo School of Government, the Center for Research and Training in Education (Spanish: Centro de Investigación y Formación en Educación, CIFE), and the Interdisciplinary Center for Development Studies (Spanish: Centro Interdisciplinario de Estudios sobre Desarrollo, CIDER); and a joint academic venture with the medical institution Santa Fe de Bogotá Foundation,[9] together offering 31 undergraduate, 18 doctoral, and 38 graduate degree-granting programs[4] in various areas of human knowledge such as medicine, engineering, science, law and others.[7][10]
