[EduCativ]

Universidad Adventista del Plata is part of the Seventh-day Adventist Church education system. It integrates four academic faculties and an institute of higher education. We have 30 different programs of study and academic courses designed to train professionals both in excellence and service. The University offers laboratories for specific learning areas, classrooms, multimedia services, research, simulation laboratories, and conference rooms. These infrastructures were specially prepared for our student's professional growth.
Universidad Adventista del Plata is opened for every citizen of every nationality, taking into consideration the Argentinean Migratory Laws in force. Once admitted by the University, the international student is advised adequately by the University's personnel following law 25,871, clause 20,699, section 2, subsection c), to fulfill the steps to obtain the temporary residency as a student. After having been told the steps to be completed, the student has the responsibility to complete the migratory steps to stay in the country. The educational institution should communicate to the National Management of Migrations the enrolment of every international student.
The University was founded to participate along with the Seventh-day Adventist Church to accomplish the Evangelistic World Mission. To do this, we prepare church leaders and lay professionals to address and improve the various areas of this service.
Universidad Adventista del Plata believes that we are all children of God, called to be his followers in the present and for all eternity. This is why it seeks to serve him, honor him, and praise him. It is committed with the Almighty to spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The primary responsibility is to our students coming from different cultural and social realities. We offer a reliable and balanced education of knowledge, skills, and appropriate values for the chosen profession. We support their development towards being active and independent, encouraging them to continue education, and stimulating them to cultivate a personal relationship with God.
We value our staff, which contributes to the harmonious development of our student's personalities and allows a learning environment that promotes creative thinking. Their example sustains Christian values, as well as professional competence. Our University encourages the constant seeking of professional growth and spiritual excellence.
The Secretariat of Science and Technique (SECYT) is responsible for delineating all the research policy of the University, as well as its implementation and assessment in each of its academic units (Faculty of Economic Sciences Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences Faculty of Health Sciences and Faculty of Theology).
With the development of the AdventistUniversity, the research seeks to contribute to the fulfillment of its mission, both concerning the training of professionals committed service to humanity, as in the commitment assumed by the University to society: contributing to the competitive advantages of the nation the generation of knowledge, its dissemination, and socialization. The UAP has as a strategic decision to promote and ensure the highest quality research and, for that purpose, has implemented rigorous processes of evaluation and selection of bankable projects.
In 1898 a hope was born. An Adventist group of pioneers, led by Pastor Francisco Westphal, gave rise to Colegio adventista del Plata (Del Plata Adventist College). There were six students, and the first courses they offered were: Nursing and theology. In 1899 the first building with five classrooms was built.In1990, On December 7th, the former Adventist College becomes Universidad Adventista del Plata (UAP), being officially recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Education of the Nation by Ministerial Resolution No. 2241 /90. In 1994 the medical career was initiated at the Faculty of Health Sciences. At the time, the Nations's President, Dr. Carlos Menem, attended the act of initiation of the academic year. In 1998 the former Adventist College celebrated 100 years. The main events were chaired by the national president, Dr. Carlos Menem, and the president of the Adventist world church, Pastor Robert Folkenberg.In 2001, on November 27th, according to 397/ 01 Resolution of the COMEAU, the medical career received its accreditation. On December 5th of that year, in section No. 127, the same entity prepared the technical report containing the final considerations for the definitive recognition of the University.In 2002, on May 10th, the Official Gazette published the Decree 795/2002 of the National Government, for which the University obtained its final recognition. On May 31st, the President of Argentina, Dr. Eduardo Duhalde, made it public at the University's Graduation Act. In 2008, in his 110th anniversary, the UAP already had over thirty undergraduate programs, more than three thousand students representing fifty-two nationalities, the temple project underway, and the realization of a prayer garden to worship God.
