In this paper the relevance of higher education is meant in the XXI Century in the face of the necessity of the transcendent transformations before the changes of the contemporary world, because the formative-cultural role played by the university in the society can propitiate the humanity’s sustainable development. The necessity to introduce deep changes in the socio-cultural administration of the universities requires of an own scientific and investigative speech, and a coherent practice in the improvement of the university processes in its social bond, therefore it urges of an interpretation of the higher education that propitiates its humanization, which has special significance for the Latin American countries. It is intended to project a university as a socio-cultural organization of a formative- professional nature, committed with society, sustained in the construction of the scientific-professional knowledge; where the formation of the professionals is meant to face the cultural challenges of the current times, in its historical development, as a cultural process inherent to the human being’s nature and its human condition.
