History
The university was founded in 1966 by a group of Mexican business men who had envisioned the creation of an institute that had its main focus on teaching the sciences to its students without compromising their knowledge of the human sciences.
In 2004 it opened two new campuses: one in Monterrey, Nuevo León and another in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
It was bought by Laureate Education, Inc., a Baltimore-based American education company, in 2008. The campuses in Guadalajara and Monterrey became UVM campuses.
Campuses
Currently the UNITEC has eight campuses, three in México City, three in Mexico State, one in Jalisco and one in Guanajuato:
