What Fundación Universitaria San Pablo - UNISANPABLO does

Fundación Universitaria San Pablo (UNISANPABLO) is a private, nonprofit higher education institution founded in 2018 and based in Bogotá, Colombia. It is governed by the Society of San Pablo (Pauline Fathers and Brothers), a Catholic religious congregation, and operates under an educational project of Christian inspiration and Pauline spirit. The institution is recognized by Colombia's Ministry of National Education as a Higher Education Institution (IES) via Resolution 11887 of July 24, 2018, and is registered under NIT 901.208.296-6.

UNISANPABLO offers four undergraduate programs — Comunicación Social, Administración de Empresas, Ingeniería en Multimedia, and Producción y Diseño de Contenidos — supplemented by a continuing education portfolio (diplomas, permanent formation schools, workshops). The university supports students financially through the Plan Padrino scholarship program, initiated in 2022 in response to pandemic-related economic hardship. Academic and administrative operations run on the Q10 cloud-based platform, which handles pre-registration, learning management, grading, and alumni communications.

The business model is tuition-driven and recurring, with revenue generated primarily from undergraduate program fees and continuing education offerings. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on the institutional website, WhatsApp Business inquiries, education fair participation (Expo Estudiante Nacional), and pastoral/community outreach events. The institution maintains a single campus at Avenida Calle 170 No. 8g-31 in Bogotá D.C., with 23 employees and domestic-only geographic reach. Complementary initiatives include San Pablo Radio Online, the NOUS research encounters, and the institutional magazine.
