Entrants, enrolment and titles
2007–2026Three counts of the same institution. Undergraduate enrolment is everyone enrolled that year, in any year of their programme; first-year entrants are the people who started; titles are the undergraduate titles and degrees it awarded.
What you can study here
2026 · mifuturo.clEvery generic programme with a page of its own that took first-year entrants here in 2026, with its campuses and list fee from Mineduc's register, and what SIES publishes on mifuturo.cl for this institution and programme: employment the year after the title, the band of the monthly income in the fourth year, and first-year retention. Each programme's name opens what this institution's own students say about it — who stays, who graduates, how long it takes — next to the programme across the country.
The first-year dropout column is PuroChile's own count on Mineduc's register: of everyone who started the programme here in 2023–2025, the share enrolled at no institution at all the following year — the three cohorts added up, never an average of three rates — beside the same programme across Chile. Changing programme or institution is not dropping out, and some who drop out come back later. “—” is a programme with fewer than 30 entrants here in those years.

What it teaches
2021By SIES's generic programme, largest intake first. Only programmes that reached 10 entrants here in some year are listed; the rest are added together at the end. The change compares the first three years with the last three and is only given where both average at least 20 entrants.

Who is still here a year later
cohorts 2007–2021Each year's first-year entrants, followed into the next year's register: still enrolled here (in any programme), enrolled at another institution, or not enrolled anywhere. It is SIES's first-year retention, counted on the published register; a cohort under 30 people has no rate.
Who graduates, and when
titles 2007–2025Each cohort of first-year entrants followed into the register of titles: the share with an undergraduate title from this institution, by years since they started. A recent cohort has a short line, not a low one — the register only goes to 2025. A title is any undergraduate title or degree, including the intermediate ones some programmes award on the way; the register does not tell them apart.
Horizontal axis: years since entry (0 is the year they started).
1,243 people started here in 2015. "Titled elsewhere" is a title from any other institution and no title from this one: someone who changed institution and finished there.
How long it really takes
titles 2023–2025Undergraduate titles of 2023–2025 in regular plans: the time from the start of the semester they entered (March or August) to the date of the title, in semesters, against the formal length the institution declares. Special and continuation plans are left out, because they take in people with earlier studies whose clock did not start at entry. 499 of 981 titles have the dates to be measured.
| Generic programme (SIES) | Titles | Formal, years | Real, years | On time | Real in Chile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derecho | 237 | 5.5 | 8.9 | 17% | 8.4 |
| Psicología | 87 | 4.6 | 6.3 | 9% | 5.7 |
| Enfermería | 70 | 5.0 | 7.5 | 13% | 6.0 |
| Bachillerato y/o Licenciatura en Educación | 24 | 1.0 | 3.9 | 0% | 4.0 |
| Trabajo Social | 21 | 3.0 | 4.5 | 0% | 5.0 |
| Odontología | 12 | 6.0 | 11.0 | 8% | 7.5 |
Programmes with at least ten titles in the three years. Years are means over every title, formal and real alike; "on time" is the share titled within the formal length. The last column is the same generic programme at every institution in Chile.

Postgraduate
2007–2026First year of a master's or a doctorate, and everyone enrolled in one. At this level the register classifies into broad fields, not programmes.
Where its graduates go on to a postgraduate degree
People with an undergraduate title from here in 2010–2021, followed forward to the first master's or doctorate they started, anywhere, up to 2026. 532 of 9,551 (5.6%) started one (universities: 9.9%); 1.1% of them here.

Research
ANID · 2006–2025The projects ANID (CONICYT until 2019) awarded with Universidad Bolivariana as principal institution — the one that answers for the project. Each figure is a count of awarded projects: not publications, not money, not people, and a project with partners counts once, here. The year is the year it was decided.

The names it registers its programmes under
9 names · 2021The wording each student enrolled under, as the institution filed it. Only names with at least three entrants are printed.
Mineduc's higher-education registers (SIES): enrolment 2007–2026 and titles 2007–2025; Mineduc's register of secondary-school leavers; and DEMRE's admission register, republished by Mineduc. They are joined person by person through the masked student id Mineduc publishes in all of them for that purpose. First-year entrants are one row per person who started that year; someone who started at two institutions counts at one. Every figure is a count of records; shares and means are taken after adding. The name is the register's own and is written as it writes it. Every university.
