Universidad Nacional Evangélica

What Universidad Nacional Evangélica does

Universidad Nacional Evangélica (UNEV) is a private Dominican Republic university founded in 1986 and operated by the non-profit Fundación Evangélica Universitaria (FEU). It delivers undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education programs across disciplines including nursing, theology, law, psychology, business administration, computer science, nutrition, dentistry, and education, plus a K-12 pipeline via its owned Colegio Uneviano school. UNEV serves primarily domestic Dominican students across two main campuses (Santo Domingo and Santiago de los Caballeros) and extended classrooms in Pedernales, with an international nursing program partnering with Lee College / West Coast University and Nursing College of Texas.

The technology stack centers on Microsoft Office 365, branded 'UNEV 365,' which provides institutional email, virtual-classroom capabilities via Microsoft Teams, and the Sistema de Gestión Académica (SGA) for admissions, registration, and academic records. Supporting academic tools include a SIABUC library catalog, an online examination system, and Turnitin-integrated thesis submission. The 80% faculty credentialing rate (master's or doctoral) supports a research operation ranked 3rd among 47 Dominican universities, with approximately RD$60 million in active research projects.

The business model is overwhelmingly tuition-driven, with revenue generated from quarterly/semester fees across degree programs (health sciences commanding pricing premiums), continuing-education diplomas priced individually (e.g., RD$11,000 for the Sign Language Diploma), educational credit facilitation through partner FUNDAPEC, and international nursing-program revenue. The institution is largely consumer-funded (B2C) with no venture, private-equity, or public-market shareholders; governance and authority appointments sit with the FEU foundation. Growth investment is being channeled through the 2024-2029 Strategic Plan and infrastructure projects such as the Los Fundadores building and the Santiago postgraduate facility.
