Universidad CAECE

What Universidad CAECE does

Universidad CAECE is a private Argentine university founded in 1967, headquartered at Av. de Mayo 866 in the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, with a second campus in Mar del Plata. It operates across five academic departments — Sistemas, Administración y Ciencias Sociales, Innovación Educativa, Psicología y Ciencias Pedagógicas, and Ciencias Exactas, Naturales y Ambientales — offering undergraduate degrees (Licenciaturas), short technical careers (Tecnicaturas), postgraduate programs (Especializaciones, Maestrías, Doctorados), extension courses, and short-duration micro-certifications. Its technology and data portfolio has expanded materially with the launch of the Maestría en Gestión y Desarrollo de Inteligencia Artificial, the Maestría en Ciencia de Datos e Innovación Empresarial, the Licenciatura en Ciencia de Datos, and AI/data micro-certifications, supported by an AI-powered Virtual Assistant for Students that draws exclusively on official university documentation.

Delivery is multi-modal: in-person at the Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata campuses, distance learning through the Campus Virtual platform, and hybrid formats, with student administration handled through the Mi UCAECE portal. Research is anchored in the Observatorio de Productividad y Competitividad (OPyC), a member of the Red Interamericana de Competitividad (RIAC) that co-produces the Índice de Intensidad Digital and the Índice de Creatividad Argentina with the Cámara Argentina de Comercio y Servicios (CAC).

CAECE generates revenue primarily through tuition and academic fees across undergraduate, graduate, and extension programs, with tiered pricing that includes a 25% discount for institution graduates and their children. It supplements direct tuition with micro-certification program fees accessible to the general public. Go-to-market combines a self-serve website enrollment funnel with a multi-channel acquisition motion — webinars, open houses, social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, X), the UCAECE en la Escuela outreach targeting secondary schools, a dedicated Empresas channel for corporate training, and a professional development center for graduate job placement. International student flows (Ecuador, Chile, Argentina) and formal exchange agreements in Guatemala, Colombia, and with Club CDO Spain & LATAM indicate a growing but secondary cross-border footprint. The university is led by Rector Dr. Paulo Falcón.
