We are a private, non-profit Higher Education Institution of Colombia and the Colombian Orinoco region, with legal status issued by the Ministry of National Education (MEN) through Resolution No. 12249.

The institution is headquartered in the city of Villavicencio. It was the first institution of Higher Education founded in the region with the purpose of creating an imprint for those generations of "llaneros" (oriental plainers) who welcomed the Corporación Universitaria del Meta-UNIMETA as their alma mater. In addition, it has several schools in all fields of knowledge: Schools of Administrative Sciences, Law, Social Sciences, Engineering, and Architecture. It has the Direction of the Educational Method of the Institution MEUM, the Department of Basic Sciences, the Language Center, the Radio and TV Workshop, the Conciliation Center and the Legal Office, and the Internationalization Office.

Its Founder and Rector for 30 years, Dr. Rafael Mojica García, created the Educational Method of the University of Meta (MEUM), through which the socio-humanist component was incorporated into all programs since its beginnings.

On November 9, 1982, in the El Triunfo neighborhood of the city of Villavicencio, Rafael Mojica García, Nancy Leonor Espinel Riveros and Ramiro Mojica García met at the invitation of the former, where they signed the Articles of Incorporation, keeping for themselves the title of Founders. The following day and in the presence of the Statutory Auditor, the first contributions were made and the aforementioned Act was elevated to public deed, corresponding to the number 1809 of November 10 of the Second Notary Office of the circle of Villavicencio.

The bylaws drafted by Rafael Mojica García, were submitted for discussion and approval of the Founders, elevated to Public Deed No. 401 of March 28, 1985, in the same notary's office.

On December 1982, the feasibility study for the creation of the Corporación Universitaria del Meta was submitted to the Colombian Institute for the Promotion of Higher Education (ICFES), requiring an addition to the study, which was delivered on April 11, 1983. Once the studies were approved by the ICFES, the Ministry of National Education issued the Legal Personality No. 12,249 of August 5, 1985. This Resolution was published in the Official Gazette on September 16, 1985, thus finalizing the formalities of the foundation.

The Corporación Universitaria del Meta-UNIMETA, is located in the center of Villavicencio, near the Student’s Park and the Flag’s park.

MISSION

We train integrally competent people, based on socio-humanistic criteria, committed to social responsibility and the consolidation of the sustainable development of the Orinoco region. 

VISION

By 2025, UNIMETA will consolidate its position as an institution recognized for the relevance and quality of its programs, its pedagogical contribution to higher education and its contribution to the sustainable development of the region.

UNIMETA's Internationalization Office is at the disposal of our academic community, for regional, national and international mobility actions, and the promotion of bilingualism. It is in charge of supporting students, professors, academics and managers with their national and international mobilities. It provides logistical and practical advice to ensure the success of the exchange activities.

In addition to the support provided to the UNIMETA Community, it collaborates with the Language Center in the promotion and dissemination of bilingualism and multilingualism, in the different activities that require a context of international appropriation.

We work hand in hand with the Directorate of Research for the dissemination of their projects in different scenarios in which their relevance provides visibility to the institution.

The Orinoco river basin has an area of almost 989,000 km2 shared by Colombia and Venezuela, its Colombian segment is 254,000 km2. It owes its name because it is a plain that forms the basin of this river, the third largest in the world.

UNIMETA is located in the city of Villavicencio, capital of the Department of Meta, at the entrance to the Colombian Orinoco region, next to the Andes mountain range. Its development is characterized by a migration from the city to the countryside, which has created a "llanero" (plainers) culture. It is the richest region in hydrocarbon production, which shares the agricultural and livestock production, which gives UNIMETA the sense to develop its academic programs and research in the environmental, agro-industrial and business areas.

The Orinoco region has a unique natural and cultural richness in the world with its traditions and customs. A gastronomy based on cassava and meat, with a people characterized by their independence and their particular adaptation to the environment of plains, pastures and dreamy sunsets, coexisting with the dozens of native cultures that are present in the institution.

The Orinoco is part of the Guiana Shield, one of the oldest geological formations in the world, and has a rich variety of natural destinations that captivate visitors: Caño Cristales River, Serranía de La Macarena, Cerros de Mavecure, among others.

The Corporación Universitaria del Meta - UNIMETA, integrates research in the processes of undergraduate and graduate education, through institutional policies that promote the consolidation of research, innovation, artistic creation, extension and social projection. These purposes are established with regional roots through the substantive functions, and the principles of human dignity are preserved, understood from an original ontological sense that supports the articulation through inter-institutional agreements. These agreements allow the recognition and dissemination of knowledge, through publications that follow the guidelines adopted by Ministry of Science and Technology of Colombia and the National System of Science and Technology.

This is achieved through the appropriation and contribution to the academy, in order to address local, regional and national problems. UNIMETA has six areas of knowledge and eleven lines of research, which are aligned with fourteen undergraduate programs and seven graduate programs. These areas and lines of research are coordinated by administrative units that are grouped into six research centers and groups. Cohesive work is promoted among professors, students and internal and external researchers, with the objective of generating significant results in the field of knowledge.
In the same way, we seek to combine the interests of the management with those national and foreign researchers who wish to carry out their proposals related to the different disciplinary areas and use of our laboratories.
