Universidad Evangélica Boliviana

What Universidad Evangélica Boliviana does

Universidad Evangélica Boliviana (UEB) is a private non-profit university founded on August 13, 1980, in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, recognized as the pioneer of private higher education in Bolivia. UEB operates six faculties (Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences; Communication and Culture; Science and Technology; Health Sciences; Business Sciences; Educational and Social Sciences) delivering 18 undergraduate programs, 6 master's degrees, and 9 diploma programs, and has graduated over 6,000 professionals cumulatively across agriculture, veterinary medicine, health, business, technology, social sciences, and education. UEB also runs a TRIPLE P pedagogical model integrating personal, productive, and professional development, and maintains MERCOSUR Educativo accreditations for Nursing, Biochemistry and Pharmacy, and Agricultural Engineering.

Core infrastructure spans a 20-hectare main campus, a 400-hectare Rancho Hora experimental livestock center, and a 16-hectare San José agricultural practice center. Supporting academic platforms include the Portal Estudiantil (student portal), Consulta de Notas (grades system), Biblioteca UEB, the Difu+Ciencia scientific repository, the Revista Ciencia y Cultura journal, a Simulation Center, and an Educational Radio station. Technology infrastructure was materially expanded in September 2024 with a new Technology Faculty building containing 10 laboratories.

The business model is tuition-driven and subscription-recurring: primary revenue flows from undergraduate and postgraduate tuition across programs, supplemented by continuing-education diplomas, international conferences, symposia, contracted research (notably with FAO, CENETROP, INSA, and municipal government), and community-service-funded activities. Specific tuition amounts are not publicly disclosed; the enrollment channel is WhatsApp and an online admissions portal targeting high school graduates ('bachilleres') in Santa Cruz and across Bolivia as the primary customer segment, with secondary engagement of government and multilateral organizations.
