This chapter presents the case of the University of the Valley of Mexico (UVM), given the institution’s importance to private higher education in Mexico. The text is divided into three sections. The first briefly describes the configuration of the private sector in Mexico. The second analyzes the evolution of the UVM within the framework of the primary changes that have occurred in the university’s academic and organizational spheres. Finally, the third section presents some conclusions and perspectives concerning the case under analysis and private higher education in Mexico.
