Our History

Our first honor was having been born in Cartagena.
¡Tecnológica de Bolívar University is proud to be from Cartagena!

It has also been the number one choice for private higher education in the city for years.

It has already been 33 years since our birth on that 5th of August 1970; we are now entering the new millennium fully prepared to establish our 33 year-long trajectory of experience in developing undergraduate, diploma, graduate and Master’s degree courses.

We have spent these first three decades strengthening our relationships with various domestic and overseas universities by means of a sophisticated Virtual Higher Education System following a tendency of unstoppable growth.

Thanks to the futuristic vision of the University’s management, it is now evident that there is a huge contrast between our genesis as a small institute located in a rented site and today’s modern campuses, one in the traditional Manga neighborhood and the other one in Ternera, both of which currently count on a modern infrastructure endowed with our own Internet node linked by means of optical fiber, fully equipped workshops, and libraries ready to serve all of our students.

Our history has been nurtured by our capacity of thinking at a big scale as well as our steadfast determination to offer solid human, scientific and technological training based upon moral, intellectual and ethical principles. We already have several generations of graduates who are committed to the regional and national development and fully trained to perform successfully, even in the overseas job market.

Our history also includes great difficulties which we have overcome; such hardship has made us stronger and has given us the knowledge thatwe can contribute to the building of a better country. That is the reason why we must keep moving forward, relentlessly, always getting better and strengthening our academic community with experience, ideals, accomplishments and expectations for our youth.
