UAH has an Interdisciplinary Program on Migration Studies (PRIEM) which links various departments and centers within the university in research, teaching and extension work related to the issue of migrants. UAH from its interest in assisting the most vulnerable communities extended its educational outreach to the officials of the Municipality of Maipú, for its continuous education and postgraduate programs of the Department of Political Science.Center for Reflection and Social Action
The ''Center for Reflection and Social Action'' (CREAS) was founded in 1997 at Alberto Hurtado University to foster reflection and social action throughout the university, in pursuit of the Jesuit ideal of educating men and women for others. CREAS facilitates relations of faculty, students, and administrators with social organizations, and organizes seminars, conferences, and workshops to impact society and public policy. It networks with the Association of Jesuit Universities in Latin America (AUSJAL) in defining the social responsibility of universities and facilitates programs for the University's pastoral department. CREAS facilitated the founding of the Social Observatory for the monitoring of public policies on social security. It is a member of the Ibero-American Observatory on Human Mobility, migration, and Development.See also
