USACH prices this degree by income decil and publishes a separate row for foreign students, labelled 'ESTUDIANTES EXTRANJEROS QUE NO CUMPLEN LO DISPUESTO EN LA LETRA A DEL ARTICULO 103' -- article 103(a) of Chile's higher-education law is the residence condition, so this is the rate for a foreign student without Chilean residency, and it is that row that is recorded here rather than any of the decil rows. Gratuidad and the state fee caps that cut the decil rates run on Chilean state funding and do not reach this reader. USACH's separate Decil 10 row on the same page carries the same figure.

Show the fee on the university's site

USACH is one of the few universities on StudyPath that prints an explicitly international column in its own fee table: its Aranceles 2026 page bands each degree by socioeconomic decile and adds a third column headed "ESTUDIANTES EXTRANJEROS QUE NO CUMPLEN LO DISPUESTO EN LA LETRA A DEL ARTÍCULO 103 Y DECIL 10" — foreign students who do not meet Article 103(a), charged alongside decile 10. That column is real and usable; the problem is that Ingeniería Civil en Informática has no row in the 2026 table at all. The computing rows that are there are Analista en Computación Científica ($4.169.000 for that column) and Ingeniería de Ejecución en Computación e Informática ($5.472.000) — the latter being a completion route that requires a prior professional or technical title, not an entry route for a school leaver. A separate semester Matrícula of $106.000 applies. The fee for this degree is therefore left null rather than borrowed from a neighbouring row.

USACH’s Aranceles 2026 table gives three figures per carrera, in this column order: Decil 7, Decil 8-9, and “ESTUDIANTES EXTRANJEROS QUE NO CUMPLEN LO DISPUESTO EN LA LETRA A DEL ARTÍCULO 103 Y DECIL 10” — the last being the rate charged to foreign students who fall outside Chile’s Article 103(a) gratuidad rules. For Ingeniería Civil Industrial that third figure is $6.782.000. A semester Matrícula of $106.000 applies on top. This is recorded as prose rather than as a structured fee because the page never states whether the arancel is per year or for the whole degree, and guessing between those is a five-fold error.

How USACH compares

Against the other universities in Chile on StudyPath, using each one's verified international fees and its own published housing prices. Universities are only compared with others charging in the same currency (and, for housing, for the same period), so no figure here has been converted. A ~ marks a year worked out from a per-term or whole-course fee.

USACH's lowest undergraduate fee for international students is CLP 5,543,000 a year, for Psicología. Of the 16 other universities in Chile we list with undergraduate fees in CLP, 6 charge more at their lowest, 10 charge less. Their lowest undergraduate fees run from CLP 3,680,000 (UBB) to CLP 6,775,000 (PUCV).

Student housing. USACH's own lowest published rate is CLP 150,000 per month. Of the 4 other universities in Chile we list that publish housing per month in CLP, 2 charge more, 2 charge less. Their lowest published rates run from CLP 55,620 (UdeC) to CLP 400,000 (UCN).

Accommodation

CLP 150,000per month

Beca de Residencia — a monthly cash contribution toward rent for students from outside the Santiago Metropolitan Area, not physical university-provided housing. Also includes free lunch at the EAO central cafeteria.

Requires a social report from the student's home-region municipality, having passed the first semester, and maintaining academic performance. Applications open at the start of each semester.

Published by the university itself, not a live listings price. Actual cost depends on room type, availability and when you apply.

What Chile's own immigration authority currently publishes. Not a ranking, not a guarantee, and not the same as what any agent or forum will tell you. Whether someone actually obtains residence depends on occupation, points, funds and policy that can change between application and graduation.

Route to citizenship

Chile's Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG, under the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security) states that a Letter of Naturalisation (Carta de Nacionalización) — a means of acquiring Chilean nationality under Article 10 No. 3 of the Constitution, formalised through a decree signed by the Minister of the Interior on the President's order — may be granted under three routes. The ordinary route (Article 2 of Decree Law No. 5.142) requires the applicant to be 18 or older, hold a currently valid Permanent Residence (Residencia Definitiva), and have 5 or more years of residence in Chile, counted from when they first obtained the Temporary Residence stamp that led to the Permanent Residence they now hold. A parallel route exists for a foreigner's child aged 14+ who holds Permanent Residence and the same 5-year residence history, with notarised parental authorisation. A faster 'qualified naturalisation' route (Article 85 of Law No. 21.325, the Migration and Foreign Nationals Law) requires only 2 years of continuous residence for a Permanent Resident who has one of several specific ties to Chile: being the spouse of a Chilean national for at least 2 years with the marriage registered in Chile and a shared household maintained throughout; being a blood relative of a Chilean up to the second degree, or someone adopted by a Chilean; or being the child of a parent who was Chilean but lost that nationality before the child's birth. StudyPath found no SERMIG statement addressing dual nationality or a requirement to renounce the applicant's original nationality, so no claim is made on that point.

“1. A quienes hayan cumplidos 18 años de edad, sean titulares de Residencia Definitiva vigente, y tengan cinco años o más de residencia en Chile (a contar desde que obtuvieron el estampado de la Residencia Temporal que dio origen a la Residencia Definitiva que mantiene vigente). Art.2 DL 5.142.”

New entry added 19 August 2026. One Chilean government domain accepted as a government source here: extranjeria.gob.cl (covering its tramites.extranjeria.gob.cl subdomain — Chile's Servicio Nacional de Migraciones digital-procedures portal, the actual reachable source used here). On the source: the main www.extranjeria.gob.cl domain (and specific pages like /visas/visa-de-estudiante/) returned a browser error page and a curl SSL principal-name mismatch on every attempt, while the tramites.extranjeria.gob.cl subdomain worked reliably — a future collector chasing SERMIG content should go straight to the tramites subdomain. Chile's Migration and Foreign Nationals Law (Ley N° 21.325) full text was located on leychile.cl (Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional) and its 'imprimir' (print) view did render real static text via the browser, but the full norm is very long (183,616 characters) and this project's page-text extraction truncates at 50,000 characters with no built-in pagination could use to reach the Article 85 qualified-naturalisation text or any student-specific work-rights articles within the time available — the 5-year/2-year naturalisation criteria actually used above were instead found pre-summarised, with their own correct statutory cross-references (DL 5.142 and Ley 21.325 Art. 85), on SERMIG's own procedures portal. registrocivil.cl (Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación, which also plays a role in Chilean nationality documentation) was checked but sits behind a CAPTCHA challenge this project cannot solve. workDuringStudy, postStudyWork and residencyRoute are all left null: StudyPath confirmed that 'Propósito de Estudios' (Study Purpose) is one of the named Temporary Residence subcategories under Ley 21.325 (via SERMIG's own residence-permit overview, ver_ficha/245) but did not reach substantive text on work rights during study, a post-study bridge status, or the specific residence-length route from Temporary to Permanent Residence within the time available — recorded as an absence of found information, not a confirmed 'no'; a future collector should pursue Ley 21.325's Título on Temporary Residence subcategories and its implementing Decreto 296 of 2021 directly, ideally via a tool that can paginate past leychile.cl's 50,000-character extraction limit. inDemandOccupations is left null for the same reason. naturalisationStatus set to 'published-route': SERMIG publishes real, numbered residence-length and status criteria for both the ordinary and qualified naturalisation routes — per the doc comment on ResidencyPathway.naturalisationStatus this field records only whether criteria are published, not how demanding Chile's underlying Permanent Residence prerequisite is to reach. citizenshipTerms records the ordinary Carta de Nacionalización route: 5 years of residence, counted from the Temporary Residence stamp that led to the Permanent Residence the applicant currently holds, and requiring valid Permanent Residence at the time of application. The qualified-naturalisation route under Article 85 of Law 21.325 requires only 2 years but is limited to applicants with a specific Chilean family tie. dualCitizenshipAllowed is null: SERMIG’s page does not address renunciation.
