Description
Private sector economic units (universities, technological institutes) primarily dedicated to providing higher education for the training of engineers, accountants, business administrators, lawyers, educators, doctors, agronomists, architects, psychologists, and other professionals. Admission to these institutions requires prior completion of high school or its equivalent, or a higher technical education program subject to a credit transfer process. These economic units offer their services through a traditional classroom-based system (fully in-person education, using a set format defined by a specific time and place for students and instructors), an open learning system (blended learning, where students determine their own study time and courses, but attend scheduled advising sessions at the campus), or a distance learning system (where students work online in a digital environment using new technologies).
