Ecuador

The PROEDUCA Group has a presence in Quito through UNIR in Ecuador, which made the National Secretary of Higher Education, Science, and Technology’s (SENESCYT) list of prestigious foreign institutions of higher education in 2016.

The International University of La Rioja is the first online higher education institution that can officially register its degrees in this country due to evaluation from SENESCYT. This decision was motivated by UNIR’s accreditations, national and international recognition, and the academic programs offered.

UNIR’s master’s degrees are verified by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA) and approved by the University Council, both competent organizations in Spain. As such, its degrees are completely valid in both Spain and the European Higher Education Area, and in countries whose legislation allows their recognition, like Ecuador.
