Profile of Arts bachelor’s degree in the Chilean university systemIgnacio Villegas1ABSTRACTThis work shows the main features that shape the 13 undergraduate art programs in the new Chilean university system by analyzing information provided by direct informants, SIES and official Web pages. From this, it is possible to display a profile for these programs, whose main features are a little differentiation in terms of curricular structure, differences in tuition fees rates, a high number of women as students, a reduced number of faculty members with a PhD., and actions towards facilitating the graduation process. Analysis of data constitutes a basis for designing policies for teaching arts in Chilean universities.Keywords: art, fine arts, school of art, undergraduate programs1 Profesor titular de la Escuela de Arte, Facultad de Artes, Universidad Católica de Chile.Santiago.
