Universidad Centro de Altos Estudios en Ciencias Exactas (Universidad CAECE)

What Universidad Centro de Altos Estudios en Ciencias Exactas (Universidad CAECE) does

Universidad Centro de Altos Estudios en Ciencias Exactas (Universidad CAECE) is a private Argentine university founded in 1967 and headquartered at Av. de Mayo 866 in Buenos Aires, with additional operating presence in Mar del Plata. The institution delivers higher education across five academic departments — Administration and Social Sciences, Exact and Natural Sciences, Educational Innovation, Psychology and Pedagogical Sciences, and Systems — and structures its offering along undergraduate degrees (Licenciaturas, Ingenierías, Tecnicaturas), graduate programs (Especializaciones, Maestrías, Doctorados), extension courses, and microcertifications in topics such as AI management, Data Science, Nanotechnology, and Educational Innovation.

Delivery is dual-modality: traditional in-person classes at the Buenos Aires campus, plus a Moodle-based Virtual Campus (campus.caece.edu.ar) supporting distance learning, with segregated virtual spaces for distance learners, in-person cohorts, and graduate students. Academic administration runs on an internal SIGEDU system handling enrollment, grading, scheduling, and student records. Supplementary integrations include Google Meet for live virtual classes, e-libro for virtual library access, and Twitch for live event broadcasting. The platform was recently renewed with a top-navigation redesign and the deployment of "Uli", an AI-powered virtual assistant that responds to student queries about campus usage.

Monetization is tuition-driven and recurring across the degree and certification programs; tuition and fees are not publicly disclosed and prospective students are directed to enrollment contact channels. Student acquisition combines institutional website content, social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, X), informational webinars, "Charlas Informativas" information sessions, and the "UCAECE en la Escuela" community outreach program that delivers robotics, programming, and science workshops to secondary schools as a recruitment pipeline. The leadership team is headed by Rector Dr. Paulo Falcón and includes a Directing Council and department-level directors. The institution is independent (no parent company or external investment evidenced), maintains an Observatory of Productivity and Competitiveness, and engages in strategic partnerships such as the NASA Space Apps Challenge hosting and collaborations with UBA-CONICET's Institute of Nanobiotechnology.
