Business

Laureate Education operates a portfolio of five degree-granting higher education institutions in Mexico and Peru, collectively serving approximately 497,700 students across campus-based, online, and hybrid programs. The institutions offer undergraduate and graduate degrees with emphasis on STEM, business, medicine & health sciences, and engineering & information technology disciplines. Laureate's institutions operate as scaled country networks in Mexico and Peru, leveraging shared infrastructure, curricula, and operational best practices to serve both traditional (18-24 year old) and non-traditional (working adults, distance learners) student populations in markets characterized by imbalance between supply and demand for affordable, quality higher education.
