The general objective of the Bachelor's Degree in Finance is to train finance professionals with scientific knowledge and high humanistic principles, capable of performing management activities and financial advice, to help strengthen the personal, family, and business economy, promoting the growth of the financial sector, thus responding to the mission and vision of the State Technical University of Quevedo as an institution permanently committed to the pursuit of regional and national welfare, for the achievement of sustainable development, providing an academic, scientific, technological and humanistic education. This career is designed in 2019 as a result of the existing needs, related to the economic development of the country. Its origin is due to praxeological deficiencies concerning elements of epistemological character allowing justifying the curricular conception that confirms it. Thus, based on a field study and a critical analysis of the bibliography, the epistemological referents that characterize the career are revealed. In this sense, the complexity paradigm, critical pedagogy, connectivism, the General Theory of Systems, as well as the theories of the field of finance, are considered.
