      • 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.
      It has been rated as the most prestigious private university in Honduras (Unimer Research International, amongst other independent firms), and throughout its history has demonstrated important leadership in the country, based on academic excellence, high technology, and promoting entrepreneurship; supported by strong internationalization programs for its students and faculty. This makes UNITEC one of the most recognized educational institutions in Central America also, thanks to its innovative educational model (SENECA, Laspau-Harvard), for its interest in contributing to national extension of society, and leading the development of various projects that have contributed to the development of marginalized populations in Honduras.
      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.
      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.

      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.
