The State University of Haiti is the largest higher education and research institution in the country. Across the country, it gathers more than 20,000 students, 1500 teachers and 800 agents and administrative managers. The metropolitan area is home to the central administration and 11 teaching and research units. Cap-Haïtien is home to the UEH's only faculty in the province, while six other cities have a law school. The structure of the University reflects the diversity of its origins. The founding text of the University of Haiti, the ancestor of UEH, brought together independent higher education institutions, some created for the training of executives from certain ministries, others of private origin, late integrated into the public system of higher education.
