Cross‐Departmental Social Networks: The Case of Universidad EAFIT

Abstract

The present paper constitutes a pilot project seeking to measure the degree of insertion of the music department in the whole university (EAFIT) through participation not only in academical but social life. In order to achieve this goal an empirical survey method based upon social network analysis was used. Although the present paper does not analyze if a higher degree of insertion of the music department is desirable or not, the indicator provided could facilitate this decision while exploring the social networks of academic departments.
