Division of International Programs

The quality and competitiveness of UCN graduate professionals, contribute to the economic, social and cultural development.
The idea of the university was born of a group of academics with ample practice and experience in the education field that took the step to found the UCN, retaking the trajectory of the old Nicaraguan Central University that in the 1970s opened its classrooms to receive students who later were important personalities in the political, academic and social fabric of the country. The updated university has made a campaign of international development making agreements with universities of different parts of the world, simultaneously to have official representatives in countries and regions, for instance in the United States of America, Mexico, Bolivia, Central America, Asia, and Europe.
The Division of International Programs is directed by professionals with ample international experience, in projects such as the United Nations, UNESCO. Some of them manage transnational companies; others are members and advisers of NGOs. All this translates into an endorsement of a global vision to their activities and curricula, as well as one that activates interaction between cultures and nations. UCN PI members have worked with numerous programs and departments of the United Nations.

“Imperialism is capitalism at that stage of development at which the dominance of monopolies and finance capitalism is established; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun, in which the division of all territories of the globe among the biggest capitalist powers has been completed.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“Affection, indulgence, and humor alike are powerless against the instinct of children to rebel. It is essential to their minds and their wills as exercise is to their bodies. If they have no reasons, they will invent them, like nations bound on war. It is hard to imagine families limp enough always to be at peace. Wherever there is character there will be conflict. The best that children and parents can hope for is that the wounds of their conflict may not be too deep or too lasting.”
—New York State Division of Youth Newsletter (20th century)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
