Technological University of the Mixteca

Mexico

Overview

English Name: Technological University of the Mixteca
Control Type: Public

Created in 1990, the Technological University of the Mixteca is part of the Oaxaca State University System (SUNEO).

SUNEO was created to serve as a cultural instrument for the transformation of the social environment. This can be achieved through high – performance universities, which create a comparative advantage for the State of Oaxaca and make it attractive for productive investments.

It is aimed at contributing to the decentralization of high quality higher education services in the following substantive functions: Teaching, Research, Cultural Diffusion and Development promotion. The SUNEO Project started in 1988 and at the beginning of 1990, the activities began with the Technological University of the Mixteca (UTM).

In 1992, the University of the Sea (UMAR) was created and the project was extended to a new socio- cultural and environmental reference point in Oaxaca: the Oaxacan coast, with the aim of promoting the culture of the sea.

During the first decade of the 21st century, the project was extended throughout the state, expanding the educational offerings in the field of science and technology and developing scientific and technological research and creating many services for the people of Oaxaca. SUNEO is made up of ten universities on eighteen campus distributed throughout all regions of Oaxaca.

The campus are scalable to meet demand: Technological University of the Mixteca (UTM-Huajuapan), University of the Sea (UMAR-Puerto Escondido, Puerto Ángel, Huatulco and Oaxaca campus), University of the Isthmus (UNISTMO-Tehuantepec, Ixtepec, Juchitán Campus), University of Papaloapan (UNPA- Tuxtepec and Loma Bonita Campus), University of Sierra Sur (UNSIS-Miahuatlán), University of Sierra Juárez (UNSIJ-Ixtlán), University of La Cañada (UNCA-Teotitlán de Flores Magón), NovaUniversitas (Ocotlán, San Jacinto and Juxtlahuaca Campus), University of the Coast (UNCOS- Pinotepa Nacional) and University of Chalcatongo (UNICHA-Chalcatongo de Hidalgo). Additional campus are under construction.

At this time, SUNEO has around 1,100 full-time professors. More than 10 thousand students.

30 Research Institutes, 183 Laboratories and 29 Workshops. The SUNEO offers 87 Bachelor’s degrees, most of them are engineering and 41 Postgraduate programs: 10 Doctorates and 31 Masters.

The SUNEO covers a total of 516 hectares
