Centro Universitario Luis Donaldo Colosio Murrieta

The Centro Universitario Luis Donaldo Colosio Murrieta (CULDCM) is a private educational institution based in the Heroica Ciudad de Huajuapan de León, in the Mixteca region of Oaxaca, Mexico. It was created in 1999 with the stated aim of giving commercial and intellectual impetus to the Mixteca Oaxaqueña region. The institution is named after Luis Donaldo Colosio Murrieta, the Mexican politician and presidential candidate assassinated in 1994. The university's stated mission is to offer young people access to higher education in the face of economic hardship and the migration of secondary-school and high-school graduates to other Mexican states or to the United States. It describes its educational model as integral, humanistic and forward-looking, and says it has produced hundreds of graduates who now work across the Mexican republic carrying the values, ideals and knowledge taught by the institution. CULDCM operates both a high-school (bachillerato/preparatoria) program and university-level studies. Its bachillerato, named Bachillerato Luis Donaldo Colosio Murrieta, is presented as a novel system in which students can enter after finishing basic education and then remain in the same environment to pursue the university degrees on offer. The university-level offer consists of four licenciaturas: Derecho (Law), Contaduría Pública (Public Accounting), Mercadotecnia (Marketing), and Orientación Social y Educativa (Social and Educational Guidance). The institution is led by a Directora General, Q.F.B. María Esther Ochoa Ríos, and its organizational structure includes a Director of Control Escolar (school administration), a Subdirector of the Bachillerato, an Academic Coordinator, a General Coordinator of the Higher Education Area, and a Head of the Law degree program. It maintains an online presence through its website, cucolosio.edu.mx, which includes academic information, admissions announcements, a document-validation service, and the SACE school administration and control system. The university communicates with prospective students through WhatsApp and telephone contacts and promotes open enrollment for both its preparatoria and licenciatura programs.
