Mr Rangel Sostmann now wants to take the Tec's "brand" even further, by moving it into new segments of the market, and extend access. Thus, in smaller and poorer cities that do not have the resources to set up their own campus, there is a new brand: TecMilenio. Students at one of these facilities can combine study with work, and have most of their contact with professors via distance learning. There are no extracurricular activities, no sports facilities. However, they use the same materials as students on campus, take the same exams and receive the same qualifications. Critically, they pay less.
