Corporacion Universitaria Remington

What Corporacion Universitaria Remington does

Corporación Universitaria Remington (Uniremington) is a private, non-profit Colombian higher education institution headquartered in Medellín with operations across more than 27 cities nationwide. Founded in 1915, the university operates through seven faculties — Veterinary Medicine, Business Sciences, Legal and Political Sciences, Health Sciences, Accounting Sciences, Engineering, and Design — and offers undergraduate programs (carreras universitarias), specializations, master's degrees, technical labor training, and continuing education across three delivery modalities: in-person, distance, and fully virtual.

The institution runs a multi-channel educational platform anchored by a WordPress-based institutional website, a dedicated virtual campus (virtual.uniremington.edu.co), a student academic portal, and Microsoft Office 365 infrastructure for institutional email and collaboration. Complementary services include legally mandated community clinics — legal consultancies (Consultorios Jurídicos UGIS), Ministry-authorized conciliation centers, and accounting clinics — alongside two research observatories (Gender/Equity/Justice; Corporate Crimes) and the institutional journal 'Saberes Uniremington.'

Uniremington's revenue model is tuition- and fee-driven, primarily via recurring academic charges (matrículas), ancillary academic fees (Derechos Pecuniarios), continuing education programs sold through an e-commerce channel, and proceeds from the institutional Tienda Uniremington. Student recruitment is sales-led, executed via the institutional website, academic fairs, and direct outreach across its national campus network. Specific tuition pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a quote-based model linked to program and modality.
