guides students through every phase of their educational<br />

personal development. An innovative mentoring program, or<br />

tutoreo, guarantees student success and responds to<br />

students’ needs in a personalized and efficient manner.<br />

UPAEP University<br />

Bachilleratos UPAEP Angelópolis and Santiago students<br />

have access to all university resources, including the museum,<br />

library, athletic facilities, and academic conferences. The<br />

UPAEP university, with a student body of 15,000, was founded<br />

in 1973 and has maintained a reputation for academic<br />

excellence throughout its 38 year history. The university’s<br />

business incubator was recently named the best high-tech<br />

incubator in Mexico by the Federal Secretary of the Economy.<br />

offers dual degree programs and maintains exchange<br />

programs with numerous foreign universities. Additionally,<br />

the UPAEP university is a member of International Student<br />

Exchange Programs (ISEP), Consortium for North American<br />

a UNESCO <strong>World</strong> Heritage City characterized by its colonial<br />

architecture and considered the ‘Athens of Mexico’ for its high<br />

concentration of universities and intellectual atmosphere. With<br />

a population of approximately two million inhabitants, Puebla<br />

is an important economic and industrial center and is<br />

consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in Mexico.<br />
