Foreword

Abstract

The current issue of e-RUA is dedicated to Graduate Studies in Architecture and Urbanism and provides an excellent opportunity to share a range of reflections marking the fifteenth anniversary of the Master's Degree in Architecture at Universidad Veracruzana. As the first graduate program to be fully affiliated with the Faculty of Architecture–Xalapa, the program was incorporated into the National Quality Graduate Programs (PNPC) of CONAHCyT from its inception in 2011. In 2025, it reaffirmed its standing by maintaining its accreditation within the National Graduate System (SNP) administered by SECIHTI, reflecting a well-established academic trajectory grounded in research excellence.
