Introduction

We are part of a national and international network of pontifical universities, a prestige earned through hard work over 80 years in Ecuador. Our university community is dedicated to the formation of high-level professionals, prioritizing top-quality education to contribute with commitment to the development of Ecuadorian society in its various fields. We are a benchmark in higher education, with an upright and highly qualified faculty capable of meeting the demands of the contemporary world through an ongoing dialogue between science and faith. Furthermore, our trajectory and recognition in the country are reflected in the high labor-market demand for our students, because Ecuadorian society knows the professional and human quality that our graduates share. Our educational excellence allows us to reach the highest standards in national evaluations, positioning us as agents of change in our environment, which has meant constant effort and dedication from our faculty, students, and administrative staff. These achievements are reinforced within our Scholarship and Financial Aid System, which additionally allows students with limited resources to receive support for their studies through our differentiated tuition fees. On the other hand, our students benefit from personalized tutoring that enables continuous improvement in the classroom, as well as in outreach projects, professional internships, seminars, conferences, debates, and other activities they engage in each semester. Along the same line of benefits, in addition to their professional training, our university community also offers recreational, sports, spiritual, and cultural activities. It is also important to highlight that our institution, as part of the PUCE, allows inter-campus mobility nationwide, being a pluricultural and inclusive university with open doors to diverse social groups. All of the above enables students to prepare and build themselves both as professionals and as human beings, in order to fulfill the legacy left to us by Saint Ignatius of Loyola: "To become more in order to serve better."
