    Given its characteristics, the Ph.D. program in Regional Development Sciences is aimed at graduates of master's degrees related to some discipline of economic, administrative, social, and humanities sciences. And it is that the region is not exclusive to a scientific discipline, but to all those that affect the social space. That is why we speak of regional development sciences, which are intended to study and interpret some aspect of the development of society, but this must be done from an integral vision, and not applicative as it has been until now. Being then, the fundamental objective of this Doctorate Program, the preparation of specialized professionals whose mission will be to analyze regional development as an integrating situation of the various sciences that influence it. Therefore, the concept itself, of Regional Development Sciences, is dedicated to investigating the social space from a complementary perspective among the various scientific visions that affect the development of human beings in their collective coexistence.
