The University of Zulia, also known as LUZ, is located in the beautiful city Maracaibo in Venezuela. It is one the largest and most popular universities in the country. The university’s roots can be traced back to 1891 when the Federal College of Maracaibo was turned into the University of Zulia. Today, the school has three campuses, two of those are in Zulia Stated and the other is in the city of Punto Fijo, which is located in Falcón State. The university is a scientific-educational institution.
