Society is currently facing an infinite number of situations and even more so when we look at the socio-educational context, for example, the constant changes that emerge from technologies. It is a reality that cannot be ignored and that is why it is pertinent to delve into the various eventualities that arise from the educational processes, which is why the present general objective is proposed: To study the impact of the curriculum of the International Commerce Program of the Francisco de Paula Santander University through a look at the experience of professionals for the establishment of strategies that lead to its updating in the period 2022-2023. The methodology is oriented from the epistemology of the interpretative paradigm; whose approach focused on mixed research (quantitative and qualitative) supported by the methods of analytical reasoning and discourse analysis through hermeneutics. The results obtained show that it is necessary to define professional updating programs offered to graduates, framed in the concept of continuing education; it is worth noting that these programs should be constantly offered to the general population, through the technological platforms of the institution. In conclusion, this paper establishes the epistemological and gnoseological bases that must be adapted to the curricular design of the International Commerce Program of the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander, which must go hand in hand with the changes and transformations marked by technology, progress and the development of society in general.
