The campus also sponsors research programs in the applied sciences as well as recreational and counseling programs for its students. The campus was founded in 1973 and was originally located in downtown Mexico City. When the campus had grown sufficiently, land in the southern part of the city was purchased and a new campus built there in 1990. Since then the campus has grown with new programs and new installations.Preparatory programsThe preparatory program has four divisions. PrepaTec Bilingüe (Bilingual), PrepaTec Bicultural (Bicultural), PrepaTec Bicultural Interdisciplinaria (Interdisciplinary Bicultural) and Bachillerato Internacional (International Baccalaureate).
