description This article aims at presenting an analysis of the curricular structure that came to the first academic programs at the Universidad del Tolima, between 1955 and 1962. It introduces the arguments which bearing in mind political reasons will led them in the birth of the university, once analyzed from a documentary corpus organized around educational legislation and which, at that time, it contributed to guiding the functioning of institutions of professional education. Consequently, we present some programs offered by Universidad del Tolima that configured three of the Faculties of the agricultural field and two technological institutes, all grouped in seven schools. The study suggests that the vicissitudes that happened in this period led the state to redirect educational policies through the invitation of the international Academic Missions that contributed to create educational institutions and so, to allow the creation of universities in some regions of Colombia. The Universidad del Tolima, as  particular case, of the analysis, since its origins, it has sought the development of professionals for the agricultural and technological field.

Objetivo: Con esta comunicación se busca presentar un análisis de la estructura curricular que se materializó en los primeros programas académicos en la Universidad del Tolima entre 1955 y 1962. Expone, para ello, algunos motivos políticos que conllevaron a acogerlos en la naciente universidad. Metodología: La investigación responde a un enfoque histórico-hermenéutico, con un diseño orientado hacia el análisis documental. Estrategias: Las fuentes principales están constituidas por los actos administrativos emanados por el Consejo Directivo de la Universidad del Tolima y su análisis mediante la descripción de los mismos. Originalidad: Presentamos, en consecuencia, algunos programas ofertados por la Universidad del Tolima que configuraron tres de las facultades del área agropecuaria y dos institutos tecnológicos, agrupados, todos, en siete escuelas. Conclusiones: El estudio sugiere que las vicisitudes acaecidas en este periodo llevaron al Estado a redireccionar las políticas educativas mediante la invitación de misiones académicas internacionales que contribuyeron a crear instituciones educativas que, a su vez, permitieron la creación de universidades en algunas regiones de Colombia. Como caso particular del análisis, la Universidad del Tolima se destaca ya que, desde su creación, buscó la formación de profesionales para el sector agropecuario y tecnológico. Com esta comunicação se busca apresentar uma análise da estrutura curricular que se materializou nos primeiros programas acadêmicos na Universidade de Tolima, entre 1955 e 1962. Expõe, para isso, argumentos tendentes a explicar algumas razões políticas que levaram a aceita-los na nascente universidade, examinados a partir de um corpo documental organizado em torno da legislação educativa e que, a seu tempo, contribuiu para orientar o funcionamento das instituições de educação superior. Apresentamos, em consequência, alguns programas ofertados pela Universidade de Tolima que configuraram três das Faculdades da área agropecuária e dos institutos tecnológicos, agrupados, todos, em sete escolas. O estudo sugere que as vicissitudes ocorridas nesse período levaram o Estado a redirecionar as políticas educacionais mediante o convite de Missões Acadêmicas internacionais que contribuíram para criar instituições educacionais que, por sua vez, permitiram a criação de universidades em algumas regiões da Colômbia. A universidade de Tolima, como um caso específico da análise, se destaca, uma vez que, desde sua criação, buscou a formação de profissionais para o setor agropecuário e tecnológico.
