Corporación Universitaria Unitec

What Corporación Universitaria Unitec does

Corporación Universitaria Unitec is a private, non-profit higher education institution headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia, operating under Colombian Ministry of Education supervision (Vigilada MinEducación) with SNIES registration 2848 and legal entity status granted by Resolución No. 2012 of March 2, 1982. The institution delivers 14 academic programs across three tiers — five undergraduate pregrados (Business Administration, Film and Television, Graphic Design, Software Engineering, Marketing and Advertising), one technological program (Gastronomic Management and Sommelier), and eight graduate specializations spanning project management, IT management, financial management, HR and occupational risks, occupational health and safety, business intelligence, strategic marketing, and information security — plus MOOCs and micro-credentials through its continuing education division. Programs are delivered in three modalities: in-person at the Bogotá campus, virtual, and hybrid (TIC-mediated).

The underlying technology stack is built around three proprietary learning platforms (Campus Virtual, Ueduca, and Campus Connect for students and faculty) supported by institutional management systems including Daruma, Caseware Iceberg, and Admiarchi. The institution publishes per-period tuition in Colombian Pesos, ranging from approximately COP $2.36M for the lowest-priced undergraduate (Marketing and Advertising, virtual) to COP $6.78M for the highest-priced in-person undergraduate (Film and Television), with specializations priced between COP $4.66M and COP $6.29M per period. Revenue is tuition-dependent, complemented by continuing education fees, with no disclosed financials in available source data.

Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer via the institutional website, online enrollment forms, WhatsApp advisory (+57 3016940100), and an extensive financial aid ecosystem that includes ICETEX government loans, six third-party financing partners (Coopfuturo, SUFI/Bancolombia, Financiar, Fincomercio, Finky), 0% interest in-house plans, and SENA credit transfer pathways. The institution has 251-500 employees and serves a primarily domestic Colombian student base across all three program tiers.
