Committed to the development of society through Social Service.
Social service is a component of the educational model that seeks to foment the development of competencies, in particular the transversal competency in ethics and citizenship, i.e. education with a humanistic outlook, based on experiential learning in public-service activities and projects.
At Tecnológico de Monterrey, social service is viewed as an educational experience that strengthens the development of students’ exit competencies, placing personal talent and professional excellence at the service of others and, in this way, contributing from a professional context to the generation of proposals for addressing, diminishing or solving the key social issues faced by society.
Social service is a graduation requirement, as stipulated in article 24 of the General Education Law and in the regulatory law provided by article 5 of the Mexican Political Constitution, and applies to all the Tecnológico de Monterrey campuses at the undergraduate level. In addition, fulfilling 480 hours of social service is a graduation requirement at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
Tecnológico de Monterrey students demonstrate a clear social commitment, since on average students complete over 550 hours throughout their degree program.

Faculty who promote student education with a humanistic outlook.
One of the components of the Ethics and Citizenship Program consists of transversal education courses in the different curricula that contribute to the preparation of each and every professional.
In the case of transversal courses that incorporate citizenship, the social attribute "Course with transversal citizenship (CCTR)" is used. This attribute allows faculty to develop social service projects that benefit society and award credit for social service hours. To do so, the class professor must have successfully completed the Transversal Citizenship Workshop.
Which requirements or activities must be fulfilled to implement a social service project in my course?
- Agreement to assign the CCTR attribute to the course group to implement the SS project.
- Connection of the SS project with a social education organization.
- Registration or authorization of students’ projects.
- Automatic credit for hours according to the students’ grades and registration of exceptions in SS.
- Generation and submission of the letter of verification of SS hours for the group.
