Central American Technological University

The Central American Technological University (Spanish: Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana) (UNITEC) is a private coeducational institution with campuses in the three main cities of Honduras: Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba. History UNITEC (Central American Technological University) is a private higher education institution founded in 1987 by a group of Honduran businessmen and professors of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH), including William Chong Wong, who envisioned the creation of an institute that had as its main focus the teaching of the sciences to its students without compromising their knowledge of the humanities. This university also provides a choice of higher education to working adults through CEUTEC (Centre for Technological Development), which began operations in 2005. In that same year UNITEC became a member of Laureate International Universities. However, it ceased to be part of the Laureate network in 2020. Currently, UNITEC has five different campuses distributed in five major cities in Honduras, three in Tegucigalpa, one in San Pedro Sula and another in La Ceiba. It has over 17,000 university students nationwide. Academics Its academic programs are focused on the contribution of professionals in the areas of business and engineering, some of them unique in Honduras offering 20 undergraduate programs and 8 master's programs.
