The methodology established by the Planning Department of ESPOCH and the approach proposed by Secretaría Nacional de Planificación y Desarrollo (SENPLADES) was used. In addition, this work compiled valuable information highlighting multiple authors for the formulation of the Strategic Foresight Plan and the development of workshops where internal and external stakeholders participated with criteria and opinions for the design of the foresight. The SWOT matrix was prepared by means of the internal and external diagnosis, the surveys applied to teachers and students, together with the interview conducted with the coordinator and periodic meetings, which showed that the career has strong points that allow it to comply most of its objectives and goals, it also has weak points that hinder the efficiency in the processes for its development. It was concluded that the Strategic Foresight Plan allowed the identification of relevant points in which strategies could be proposed to ensure the development of the substantive functions of higher education, as well as establishing short, medium and long term goals, which helped to strengthen the career. It was recommended to socialize the Prospective Plan with each of the commissions that make up the Career, as well as the effective control and improvement of the activities through timely management by the coordinator
