This study of characterization of higher and distance education in Colombian universities presents the current status of distance education. While we have statistical studies on higher education, they are not specific on distance education, notwithstanding the fact that it represents 10% of higher education in our country. The main source of information is the analysis and exploration of the data provided by the National Higher Education Information (SNIES) and the Labor Observatory for Education, official information systems from the Ministry of Education, which provide extensive statistical information about higher education in Colombia.
