What Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo does

Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo (INTEC) is a private higher education institution founded in 1972 and headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The institution offers undergraduate (Grado) and postgraduate (Postgrado) programs across engineering, basic and environmental sciences, health sciences, social sciences and humanities, and economics and business. INTEC is the first and only Dominican university — and one of 47 in Latin America and the Caribbean — to hold ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) accreditation, awarded in 2024 for its Mechatronics, Electrical, and Industrial Engineering programs. It carries a QS 4-Stars rating and additional accreditations from IACBE (business), CAAM-HP (health sciences), CNEIP (psychology), and QM, and operates under MESCYT oversight pursuant to Dominican Higher Education Law 139-01.

INTEC's core technology infrastructure comprises a Campus Virtual learning management system, an OASIS student portal, a CRIS INTEC research information system, and the RI-INTEC institutional repository, supported by specialized digital platforms including Learning Factory (workforce training), INTEC 711 (campus emergency management), Educación Permanente (continuing education), and the Confucius Institute (Chinese language and culture). The institution maintains 23 research groups with 36 research profiles, has produced 1,902 publications, 16 patents, and 75 active research projects, and runs 9 wholly-owned operating subsidiaries spanning STEM outreach, publishing, radio, emergency management, and international mobility (MOVENI).

INTEC generates revenue primarily through tuition and academic fees for undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing education programs, supplemented by consulting services via its Consultoría y Servicios division, financial assistance processing, and donations. Pricing is quote-based and varies by program and academic level, with scholarships, discounts, and payment plans administered through Banco Popular Dominicano's Azul platform. The institution's go-to-market is sales-led, recruiting students through its institutional website, online application portals (Grado and Postgrado), news and events properties (La Colmena, Hoy INTEC), QS ranking visibility, and international mobility programs enabled by 80+ bilateral exchange agreements with universities across 23 countries.
