INCOMING STUDENT PROFILE

The intercultural approach, as established in the Universidad Veracruzana Intercultural General Program, “requires new criteria and processes for the admission of students that take into account characteristics of a socio-cultural background of an inclusive nature, and omit those characteristics that have traditionally excluded them from the education system’’ (DUVI, 2005). That is why students take the National Entrance Examination to Higher Education (EXANI II de CENEVAL) for diagnosis purposes only.

The profile of a student entering the LGID Degree Program is defined mainly by their interests, outlook and attitudes. A student must be willing to get involved in collaborative processes to develop knowledge to support the economic, cultural and political processes of families inhabiting intercultural regions. Those who speak or understand a regional language will be given preference. Students that show attitudes of commitment, responsibility, openness to new things and a critical spirit, as well as creativity and initiative will be welcomed.
