The Literature program at the University of the Arts provides an innovative academic space in the field of Latin American and Ecuadorian literature. It aims to train researchers, editors, creators, and literary critics who will engage in contemporary debates through the evaluation, production, editing, and management of various artistic expressions of language. This includes not only traditionally Western narratives but also stories from ancestral languages and those resulting from contemporary changes.
Graduates of the School of Literature at the University of the Arts will have, in addition to the knowledge specific to their field, a broad understanding of other artistic disciplines.

Their broad and intercultural perspective will aim to foster social awareness and sensitivity.

“Mirar los resultados alcanzados por la Universidad de las Artes evidencia un trabajo sostenido y una comunidad comprometida con expandir los límites del conocimiento artístico”, dijo la presidenta del CACES, Dra. Ximena Córdova, en el acto de entrega a la UArtes del Certificado de Cualificación Académica en el campo específico de artes, un hito para nuestra institución que, en un proceso voluntario, técnico y transparente, demostró calidad superior en investigación.
Como un momento simbólico de agradecimiento al Consejo de Educación Superior (CES) por la apertura y el apoyo brindados a la Universidad de las Artes señaló nuestro rector, doctor William Herrera, a la reunión que propició con el presidente del ente, Dr. Pablo Beltrán; las vicerrectoras, Dras. Olga López y Ana Gabriela Rivadeneira; y las nuevas máximas autoridades UArtes, elegidas mediante sufragio el pasado 2 de diciembre: doctores Saidel Brito, Yulianela Pérez y Andrey Astaiza.
“Propósitos textuales”. Es la propuesta que hace el CEAT de la Universidad de las Artes en este diciembre, a fin de recibir el 2026 con la misma o mayor energía con la que celebraremos lo bueno que este año nos ha entregado. Junto al pendón del CEAT (tercer piso de la Biblioteca de las Artes) está en el extremo de la mampara un buzón y una cajita con una hoja muy especial donde habrá un espacio para escribir el nombre, el correo institucional y, finalmente —y lo más importante—, el propósito textual. Al final de este texto su autora comparte algunas ideas.
