Abstract

In the present article we offer a perspective of some of the elements that make up the symbolic forms of travel at university. Beyond a pragmatic and economic perspective of the functions and the meaning of University, we decide to offer other views of the meaning of this institution. From positions such as Liberal Education we show how the moral education of university subjects becomes a key, central element in these educational trips.

Key words: University, Academic travel, Liberal Education, Educational trips.
