• Resumen

  • In this work, a ranking of the academic departments of the AutonomousUniversity of Aguascalientes is carried out. A network is built that de-scribes the interaction between departments considering the courses taughtin the undergraduate educational programs. Once the network is generated, three ranking algorithms are applied: conservative ranking ingraphs, weighted ranking in digraphs, and the analytical hierarchical process. The departments of Mathematics and Physics, Philosophy, Statisticsand Law are the best ranked according to a dominance criterion. We provide an analysis by academic units of the teaching balance in terms ofthe ranking and the differences when compared to global results. Thisresearch could be useful for decision-making aimed at institutional development.
