Training professionals who build a better Guatemala

An ICF education challenges students to see the whole person: with scientific rigor, a humanistic foundation, and a vocation for service.

Higher Education

Guatemala faces extreme situations affecting people of all ages. Our response is to train specialists.

Economic instability and high rates of violence are compounded by a lack of highly trained professionals able to serve each person in their uniqueness, across all their dimensions, and toward the search for meaning in their lives. That is why we offer programs at the diploma, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels.
