Another online Mexican university: Universidad Virtual Liverpool - Avidreader - 01-17-2025
I just bumped into this university and was quite surprised. For reference, it's like discovering there is a university in the USA named: JCPennys University Global. Or perhaps a Sears university global.
It seems bizarre a chain department store would have its own university, but it does have RVOE. If it is legit in the eyes of the Mexican government, I suppose it is worth sharing the info here. School has been running for at least 2 years and there's already a few alumni with a cédula profesional.
As expected since it's a department store, most degrees are aimed at sales. They currently offer Bachelors and Masters degrees. Website gives vibes they tried copying the UVEG. The ads look almost identical with magenta hues instead of royal blue. They use a quarter trimester format lasting 4 months and the bachelors degrees take 3 years. Masters degrees take 2 years with 3 months. Unlike a lot of the online public universities I have shared in other threads, this school seems more flexible about requirements.
Everything seems to be done online where you pay 100 MXN (5 USD) for a knowledge entrance exam. Yes, 5 USD. The low cost was very surprising. Masters degrees signups are only most modestly expensive at 150 MXN (7 USD). They offer scholarships as well. 80% off for people that don't work at their department stores. Masters have scholarships up to 75% for non employees.
I can't find information about costs for each semester. Only that the titulation for Bachelors costs 2400 mxn (120 USD) and Masters 4000 mxn (200 usd). For Mexican standards, the costs for graduation are very affordable.
As a requirement to graduate a bachelors, students must do a community service or servicio social that lasts 480 hours in 6 months. They offer students to become tutors as an option to fulfill the service or work at a government institution. Theoretically, this could include doing the service at any Mexican embassy or consulate worldwide as an unpaid internship. The website mentions students can also fulfill the requirement working online as interns for a company willing to accept them.
