Abstract
CASTRO HEREDIA, Javier Andrés and RAFFO LOPEZ, Leonardo. Some Considerations about the Structure of Economics Curriculums in Colombia. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2016, n.30, pp.147-170. ISSN 1657-6357.
This paper presents some peculiarities about economics undergraduate programs in Colombia with a quantitative analysis of a selected sample according to two aspects, region and student's performance in a test of economics knowledge. The analysis shows convergence in curricular structures of Economics programs, with small regional differences. This standardization of curricula may suggest the existence of a leader-follower strategy in economics programs. Some programs tend to imitate standardization of national leading programs to provide modern, prestigious, flexible and comprehensive curricula regardless their own particular specificities and features.
