Institution

We are the pioneering organization (since 1991) and the largest in Mexico dedicated to the continuous improvement of Educational Programs and Public and Private Higher Education Institutions.

Comité de Evaluación Institucional

We evaluate and accredit higher education programs at all levels — Associate, Bachelor's, Specialty, Master's and Doctorate — in face-to-face, online and hybrid modalities, as well as granting Institutional Accreditation.

Methodology

Our program evaluation methodology is purpose-centered, with emphasis on student and program outcomes. It includes minimum indicators common to any higher education program in Mexico, organized into axes, evaluation categories, and indicators that vary according to the type of program.
