The Metropolitan University (Spanish: Universidad Metropolitana) (Unimet) is a Venezuelan university founded in 1970 by a group of entrepreneurs led by Eugenio Mendoza Goiticoa in the terrains donated by the businessman Pius Schlageter, father of the Venezuelan painter Eduardo Schlageter. It is in the Terrazas del Ávila section of Caracas.

History

The university started as a nonprofit organization in 1964 with a mission to develop the curricula for what would become the "Universidad Metropolitana". On 1 October 1970, the "Consejo Nacional de Universidades" approved the plans and projects of the fledgling university.

Mechanical engineering

Business and Administration

In 1976 the campus was moved to its current location on the eastern city district of "Terrazas del Ávila."

Today, the university has 5,000 students and approximately 500 professors. It is a business-oriented private university, and so offers a Business Administration course.

The academic undergraduate courses include: Economics, Accounting, Business Administration, Law, Education, Modern Languages, Engineering (Chemical, Mechanic, Systems, Electrical, Civil and Production) and Psychology. In 2003, it became the first university in Venezuela to offer a Liberal Studies course.
