In June 2011, we received recognition as an Institution of Academic Excellency from the Department of Public Education of the Federal Government. With this recognition UDLAP has become a member of an exclusive group of 34 universities in the country that have obtained this award, proving their commitment to provide society with quality higher education.

We continue being highly classified in the national rankings that the country’s most important newspapers carry out. Year after year we improve our positioning as an institution of academic excellency before regional employers and scholars from the best universities in Mexico.

At the global level, in 2011 we participated for the first time in the QS World University Ranking, in which we were recognized as the second best private university in the country and were placed in 46th in Latin America. In this classification 700 universities all over the world were assessed.

Regarding postgraduate programs, América Economía ranked UDLAP as the third best business school at the national level and 19th in Latin America. In the ranking of the best MBAs in Mexico 2012 published in the Expansión magazine, the UDLAP maintains fifth position thanks to our academic staff, the student selection process, accreditations that the school possesses, exchange programs, and the position the institution has in global rankings. Our postgraduate programs in Corporation Finances, IT Management, Business Management, and Marketing placed first in the classification chart of ED Universal, published in December 2011.
