Universidad de Celaya aims to be a learning community that distinguishes itself for its academic quality and for providing its students with an exceptional educational experience that inspires them to positively transform the world of this century.
That is why one of the commitments of this University is the continuous improvement of its study programs through strategic and periodic updating, as well as certifications through external national and international organizations.
Recently, the Bachelor's Degree in Law and the Bachelor's Degree in Management and Administration of Global Business received accreditation from the Interinstitutional Committees for the Evaluation of Higher Education (CIEES), thus ensuring a first-class educational service for students.
The CIEES collaborate strategically with Higher Education Institutions in the search for Excellence, guaranteeing their prestige through the evaluation of the basic aspects that every HEI must comply with and others related to the institutional project, research, innovation, internationalization, linkage and cultural extension.
This significant achievement is the result of the qualified work of the directors and members of the academic staff who, day after day, put their dedication at the service of the formation of the future leaders of our community.

An immersive hybrid system will be implemented in 21 classrooms at Uniamerican International School to guarantee the continuity of academic quality in all its elementary and high school groups, as well as the optimization of learning environments that will be characterized by promoting inquiry, critical thinking through triggering questions and collaborative work in the context of a safe, staggered and semi-presential return next August.
Only eight schools, distributed in four states of the country, including Guanajuato, have immersive systems (UNOi, May 2021) that operate with a state-of-the-art technological infrastructure made up of computers, iPads, projectors, 4K cameras with 120-degree coverage and artificial intelligence mechanisms for facial recognition that allow them to take tracking shots, delimitation and close-ups in detailed areas, as well as panoramic shots with remote control. Likewise, the cameras frame based on human voice recognition, suppressing environmental noise to achieve greater fidelity in the transmitter's audio.
Another key pillar of immersive hybrid classrooms is the teaching team that is being trained to successfully plan and implement classes that awaken students' interest and curiosity, while generating learning and developing skills supported by academic content designed for this purpose.
Rosalba Vega, in her 4th semester of high school, currently takes biology and math classes in an immersive hybrid classroom and, from her experience, the advantages are a higher level of attention and concentration during class that has allowed her to improve her academic performance, a better group dynamic and the confidence of feeling safe in a de-densified classroom.
Thanks to this integral model of educational evolution, more meaningful learning experiences will be generated for students and teachers because, with the integration of the technological and academic components within the classroom, a more natural simultaneous interaction between students who will attend classes in person and those who will participate remotely will be possible.

The immersive hybrid classrooms, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence, are already implemented in 33 classrooms at the University of Celaya to guarantee a safe return to classes next August, ensuring the continuity of academic quality.
These classrooms are already being used by teachers and students at all levels, such is the case of the Master's Degree in Administration, where there have been very good comments about how well the technology and the 4K camera system works, which, thanks to artificial intelligence mechanisms, have facial recognition that follows the teacher around the room and recognizes the human voice, eliminating environmental noise to achieve greater fidelity in the audio, giving fluency to class participation.
In high school, in biology and mathematics, Rosalba Vega, a 4th semester student, says that the hybrid classrooms allow her to pay more attention and concentrate during class, improving her academic performance and a better group dynamic, as well as the confidence of feeling safer in a classroom with fewer students.
Thanks to this integral model of educational evolution, more meaningful learning experiences will be generated for students and teachers, since the integration of technological-academic components within the classroom will allow interaction between students who will attend classrooms in person and those who will participate remotely, stimulating collaborative work, discussions in real time, critical thinking, to mention a few skills.

The project "Strengthening the Digital Educational Model of FIMPES Universities" has brought together eleven of the most prestigious universities in Mexico, including the University of Celaya, to design an educational model according to mega trends, promoting continuous improvement, relevance and access to higher education based on best practices, technology and global trends with the support of a group of international experts.
The participation in this innovative model project joins 10 other universities in the country and has strategic allies such as EmTech Institute and Santander Universities.
In the first phase, the project contemplates the creation of five digital/hybrid courses with best practices worldwide, more than 60 professors and specialists involved in the creation of academic content and the possibility that more than 100 universities use the courses in digital platform, making the necessary adaptations based on the reality of higher education and the market in Mexico.
The digital/hybrid courses will address Digital Skills, Critical Thinking, Mathematics, Study Habits and Oral and Written Communication.
The University of Celaya joins advanced initiatives and reinvents itself to continue offering the academic quality of its programs and fulfilling its commitment to society.
