Universidad del Tepeyac

What Universidad del Tepeyac does

Universidad del Tepeyac is a private higher education institution based in Mexico City, founded in 1975 as the university extension of the older Colegio del Tepeyac (K-12, founded circa 1940). The institution is operated under the umbrella legal entity "Colegio y Universidad del Tepeyac SC." and is officially recognized by Mexico's Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP), certified by FIMPES (Federación de Instituciones Mexicanas Particulares de Educación Superior), and has its preparatory/Bachiller program incorporated to UNAM; its bilingual track is backed by Cambridge Assessment English. Rector C.P. Rodrigo Valle Sánchez leads the university, with Mtra. Alicia Iduñate Rossi heading the Centro de Estudios de Posgrado.

The academic portfolio comprises 13 undergraduate programs (Licenciaturas) spanning administration, finance, architecture, communication, law, design, industrial engineering, marketing, international business, psychology, and tourism; 4 master's programs (Business Management, Humanities, Integral Advertising, Applied Technologies in Education); 1 doctorate (Educational Innovation); plus continuing education (Sommelier Diploma, English Teacher Training) and a Language Center (Centro de Idiomas). Delivery is hybrid through a proprietary Virtual Learning Platform (Plataforma Virtual de Aprendizaje / PVA), with one fully online Master's program. A virtual library (eLibro integration) provides access to approximately 150 million publications. The institution also operates sub-brands including CIFAT (interdisciplinary academic training in dance, music, sports) and the Tepeyac Fraternity alumni network founded in 2023.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through recurring tuition across undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education programs, plus ancillary fees. The go-to-market is sales-led via direct admissions (phone 55 57 81 40 33, email [email protected], in-person visits, WhatsApp 55 6540 5864), with marketing support from organic social (Facebook, Instagram), blog content, and alumni referrals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are horizontal across individual consumer students (undergraduate, graduate, lifelong learners); three named campus/office locations exist in Mexico City (Lindavista headquarters and admissions), with the sibling Colegio del Tepeyc Querétáro campus serving the K-12 segment rather than the university itself.
