Universidad Militar Nueva Granada

What Universidad Militar Nueva Granada does

Universidad Militar Nueva Granada (UMNG) is a Colombian private non-profit higher education institution, supervised by the Ministry of National Education (Mineducación), that delivers undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs across multiple faculties including Engineering, Medicine, Law, Economic Sciences, Basic and Applied Sciences, and International Relations. The university operates four campus locations—the main Calle 100 campus in Bogotá, the Faculty of Medicine campus in Bogotá, the Campus Nueva Granada in Cajicá (Cundinamarca), and a Centro de Experiencia y Orientación in Villavicencio (Meta)—serving more than 10,000 active students with a faculty and administrative staff of over 1,000. UMNG's academic portfolio is supplemented by distance learning through FAEDIS (Facultad de Estudios a Distancia), pre-university preparation courses (Preingeniería and Premédico), and a network of professional consulting centers (consultorios) that combine practical student training with community-facing services in law, business, healthcare, and engineering.

The institution runs an integrated digital infrastructure comprising the UNIVEX student portal for academic and administrative management, virtual classrooms (Aulas Virtuales) for online learning, an institutional repository (Repositorio UMNG) for research output, the Editorial Neogranadina publishing house, and the UMNG Radio broadcast channel. It also operates a network of laboratories spanning clinical simulation, surgery, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, morphology, and biomedical engineering, alongside cultural assets including the National Telecommunications Museum and the Literary Center.

UMNG generates revenue primarily through annual tuition and matriculation fees, ancillary academic and administrative fees, and special fees for expedited degree processing (2026 rates: Pregrado $1,453,000 COP, Posgrado $1,558,000 COP, Tecnología $582,000 COP). A significant share of undergraduate tuition is subsidized by the Colombian government under the Política de Gratuidad for eligible populations (Sisbén A/B/C groups, indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities, conflict victims, rural residents, and persons with disabilities), creating a mixed revenue model in which government funding complements fee income. Student financing is facilitated through ICETEX educational credit partnerships, and the university has been granted 8-year institutional accreditation in high quality via Resolución 013147 of July 6, 2022.
