The School of Law and Social Sciences of the University represents a fundamental cornerstone of Icesi’s institutional transformation over the last two decades. The Faculty brings together the knowledge and experiences that make possible the development of teaching, research and the University’s involvement in the areas of law, anthropology, political science, psychology, sociology, history, philosophy and art.
The School's influence on university life can be grouped into two major fields:
The School has been a central player in redefining the University's educational commitment, helping to strengthen and deepen the liberal education model that allows Icesi to proudly develop professionals with knowledge, skills and attitudes that exceed disciplinary training; these graduates increasingly distinguish themselves for their creativity, good judgement, intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and autonomy, as well as for their personal, professional and public responsibility. In this respect, the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences is responsible for curricular guidelines of education in science, humanities, ethics and citizenship.
The School exercises its teaching, research and consulting tasks in the fields of law and social sciences, through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates various institutions, programs and practices, in the following areas:
Teaching: five undergraduate programs, nine specializations, five master’s degrees in advanced studies and two in research.
Research: three specialized centers, three learning and research laboratories, one observatory, and various groups and seminars.
Publications: three scientific journals (one being student based), one cultural upheaval magazine, five specialized collections, one co-publishing program and another one in the publication of articles that are in development.
Intervention: two offices in psychology and law, a mediation center and various projects and activities to support communities, foundations, non-governmental organizations, companies and public bodies on issues of social and cultural development, access to rights, minority rights, vulnerable populations, social harmony, citizenship, conflict resolution, social entrepreneurship and mental health, among others.
In conclusion, the Faculty has a noteworthy presence in the academic, recreational and cultural life of the University through several scientific and cultural events of an extracurricular nature.
The transformations of the last 20 years, in Colombia and the world, have made it clear that to act responsibly in social life it is necessary to adopt an interdisciplinary perspective.
The faculty works in such a way that alternative responses to social problems can be offered, alternatives that integrate the legal, social, political, aesthetic and cultural perspective in such a way that the problem and society's demands are attended to instead of what academic traditions require.

The faculty members participate in two research groups that have achieved recognition from Colciencias, the Colombian government agency that encourages, registers and reports quality research carried out in universities and research centers. The publications, research plans, as well as the members of the group can be consulted in the register of research groups of Colciencias. The faculty has a policy that all members must belong to one of the research groups, and their resumes must remain updated in the Colciencias database.
The group works, on the one hand, on the follow-up of different theoretical and empirical developments concerning the construction of democracy in the country, and seeks to articulate the conceptualization of politics, with the study of cultural, political and legal practices in the configuration of the region, without losing sight of its local, national and global relations. On the other hand, it attempts to understand the processes of social, economic, technological and legal transformation of organizations, as well as the conflicts derived from these transformations and their social, moral and legal consequences, for individuals and associated local and global communities.
This group is organized by discipline, with the purpose of strengthening legal research. Its work focuses on two avenues: the first one has been devoted to elaborating studies of critical legal dogmatics, in the areas of public and private law. Although the distinction between public and private is recognized as useful for the understanding and operation of law, at the same time, the processes of transformation of the state and of the Law justify a vision that goes beyond the traditional.
The second line of work is equally critical in nature, but it focuses on descriptive and evaluative work in various areas of law.
