Universidad La Salle Oaxaca

What Universidad La Salle Oaxaca does

Universidad La Salle Oaxaca is a private Catholic higher-education institution located in Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. Founded in 2007 with support from Fundación Alfredo Harp Helú and the Hermanos de las Escuelas Cristianas (Lasallistas), it is part of the broader La Salle educational network, which includes 15 campuses in Mexico, 48 international campuses across 21 countries, and 76 partner universities. The institution serves high-school, undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students through a Bachillerato program, 20 Licenciatura (undergraduate) programs, Posgrado (graduate) tracks, and an Educación Continua offering, with recent curricular additions in digital animation and cultural management.

The university's core technology footprint consists of standard educational and administrative platforms — notably the Moodle learning management system and the SIAPE administrative suite — alongside third-party licensed digital library resources (eLibro, vlex, EBSCOhost, Scopus). Operational support includes a psychoeducational counseling unit, a student-mobility infrastructure via the Centro de Lenguas e Internacionalización, and an extension office in Santo Domingo Tehuantepec in the Istmo region. The institution holds RVOE (Reconocimiento de Validez Oficial de Estudios) federal recognition across its academic programs, the most recent certifications being Animación Digital (December 2025) and Gestión Cultural y Artística (March 2025).

The business model is tuition-based and recurring: students pay per-period tuition (e.g., approximately MX$6,400 monthly plus MX$3,250 enrollment per quarter at the graduate level), partially offset by scholarships ranging from 10% to 70% and 20% sibling discounts. Revenue diversification comes from continuing-education and corporate language-certification programs. The institution operates under the strategic direction of Rector Dr. Luis Ignacio Salgado Fernández, in office since August 2021, with 202 employees supporting a single main campus.
