With more than 450 pre-triculated students in different careers and modalities, URACCAN opened the pro-edeutic course at its New Guinea university campus; young people come from different departments of the country, mainly from the South and North Caribbean areas and the Rio San Juan department.

"It's a historical pre-enrollment, more than last year, as more and more young people choose to study at URACCAN," said the visiting professor Blandón, academic secretary at the university campus.

The applicants participate in the different shifts and modalities where the propedeutic course is offered, having to take it and pass it to, subsequently, make their proper registration in the corresponding race and modality.

In the same sense, the authorities of the university campus welcomed the participants of the propedeutics, facilitating the institutional philosophy in a shared way, among permanent teachers, coordination of areas and the vice-chancellor of the venue.

For its part, the PhD. Eugenio López, vice-chancellor of URACCAN campus New Guinea emphasized that "Seeing these students in the propedeutic, seeing how several of the careers filled space very quickly, is also certain of the confidence that people have in the educational quality of our university," he said.
