Our professors and instructors teach students in the classroom and the laboratory, as well as in Learning by Doing practicums that give Zamorano students the chance to learn how to apply and adapt their lessons to real-world circumstances. Many of our faculty have earned doctorates or equivalemt terminal degrees in their areas of specialization and are recognized experts in their fields. Yet even more important to Zamorano — and the faculty themselves — our professors and instructors have substantial professional and personal experience that informs their approach as teachers and mentors. Zamorano faculty are committed to improving the lives and prospects of the students in their care, so that those young people may, in turn, graduate and find careers where they can apply themselves to improving the lives of others. Many of our professors and instructors lead by example, not only in the important work they do as teachers, but also as researchers and specialists helping to better the lives of people throughout Latin America.
Zamorano outreach efforts are many and varied. Our faculty provide classes and technical assistance programs on campus and they also travel to the places where need is greatest. Our faculty consult and offer expert opinion to a broad spectrum of academic, public, non-profit and governmental agencies and regularly publish on their work and findings. In addition to scholarly research in peer-reviewed journals, many create technical assistance manuals for regional and international outreach efforts and present papers at local and international conferences.
