Universidad Autónoma de Baja California

In UABC we promote a variety of options to help our students experience an integral education with a sense of social responsibility for them to participate intensively in a wide range of growth possibilities, such as: a comprehensive tutoring system, internships linked to public and private sectors, cultural and sports activities, entrepreneurship, knowledge dissemination, and community service. We also encourage our students to learn in other languages, and to have life experiences in different cultures, universities and countries. 

Principles :

The Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Baja California was created as a public service institution, decentralized from the state administration, with full juridical capacity and with the following purposes: to give preparatory and superior education to train professionals; to promote and carry out scientific research, giving preference to those that tend to solve state and national problems; and to expand the benefits of culture.

In realising these goals, the university is inspired by the principles of academic freedom and free inquiry in research, welcoming all currents of thought and trends of a scientific and social nature, for the exclusive purposes of teaching and research.
