This article seeks to update the profile of students who are studying undergraduate degrees in virtual-distance mode, enrolled in the Faculty of Distance Studies (Faedis) of the Nueva Granada Military University, making a comparison between the periods 2015-II and 2018 -II, comparing their economic, demographic and institutional aspects. The descriptive methodology was used by surveying a sample of 14.2% of the active student community. It was observed that most of the students who responded to the survey are in the age range of 26 to 45 years, which shows that it is an adult-young population; however, the 17-20 year old group shows a significant increase. Similarly, students promptly demand that the Faculty offer a greater number of specializations and master's degrees, and among their interest is the Master's in Senior Management (MBA), and they hope that their focus will be towards deepening.
