The Inter-American University for Development is a multi-campus educational institution that promotes academic excellence, human growth and professional leadership through an educational model that integrates values, latest technology and real work experience, facilitating the insertion into the business world. UNID was born on September 4th of 2000 in Tlalnepantla, Estado de México as an institution supported by the Consorcio Educativo Anáhuac (CEA). Since then, its purpose was to contribute to the positive development in Mexico, offering high college and post-graduate quality. The educational model is inspired by the so-called "non-traditional models" consisting of two years of intensive training to qualify as a Professional Associate or University High Technician, plus a year to obtain a College Degree. This spurred the growth of the university, establishing 47 campuses within 24 states in Mexico, facilitating the geographic mobility for more than 22,500 students studying nowadays. The educational framework is polyvalent as it is driven through the use of high tech mobile devices that have been incorporated into the academic programs in the Red. UNID platform, and through the diffusion of human values through social activities and community service.
