Abstract

We analyzed the transformation of the academic content of university degrees in history and chose the medieval European model as a starting point to learn about the original meaning of the degrees. Subsequently we used the Mexican model to follow-up on the changes and we will see how the academic and corporate meaning of the academic degrees changed over time and the acquisition of knowledge gained importance for the professional practice. The work ends in 1854-1855, with the first structured curriculum conceived by an educational system that includes schooling of all grades, requests passing of exams and in the case of PhDs calls for the submittal of a research report.
