| description | The academic programs that are part of the economic sciences emerged in Colombia in the mid-twentieth century. The relative weight of the existing programs in the academic offer and the student population grew in the last decade to reach 16% and 29%, on average, in 2020. The analysis in this text focuses on a sample of 13 programs from eight universities with high quality accreditation, belonging to the eastern region of the country, made up of the departments (states) of Boyacá, Cundinamarca, Meta, Santander, and Norte de Santander. Business Administration, Public Accounting and Economics are the three academic programs included in this article, offered by both public and private universities, in which the curriculum structure and duration of studies have notably similarities, but also visible differences in terms of the weighting of the different training areas (basic, professional, socio-humanistic and elective) as well as in the tuition fees. It is observed that the professional area with the highest relative participation is Business Administration, which is reflected in the orientation of the program, followed by the Public Accountancy program. A lower proportion was found in Economics. In the concrete case of Economics, in recent years there has been an intense debate about mathematical formalization and curricular standardization, as well as training by results, a strategy brokered by the Ministry of National Education.

In the concrete case of Economics, in recent years there has been an intense debate about mathematical formalization and curricular standardization, as well as training by results, a strategy brokered by the Ministry of National Education. Los programas que forman parte de las ciencias económicas surgieron en Colombia a mediados del siglo XX. El peso relativo de los programas existentes en la oferta académica y la población estudiantil creció en la última década hasta alcanzar en 2020, 16 y 29 %, en promedio. El análisis en este texto se centra en una muestra de 13 programas de ocho universidades con acreditación de alta calidad, pertenecientes a la región oriental del país, integrada por los departamentos de Boyacá, Cundinamarca, Meta, Santander y Norte de Santander. Administración de Empresas, Contaduría Pública y Economía son los tres programas académicos incluidos en este artículo, que ofrecen tanto universidades públicas como privadas, en los que su estructura curricular y duración de la carrera guardan notorias similitudes, pero también visibles diferencias en lo atinente a la ponderación de las diferentes áreas de formación, como básica, profesional, sociohumanística y electivas, así como en el valor de la matrícula. Se observa que el área profesional que tiene mayor participación relativa es Administración de Empresas, lo que se refleja en la orientación del programa, seguido por el programa de Contaduría Pública. Se encontró una menor proporción en Economía. En el caso concreto de Economía, en los últimos años se hado un intenso debate acerca de la formalización matemática y la estandarización curricular, al igual que la formación por resultados, estrategia agenciada por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional.
