EGADE Business School

EGADE Business School

The Escuela de Graduados en Administración y Dirección de Empresas — generally translated as Graduate School of Business Administration and Leadership but officially branded since 2010 as EGADE Business School — is the graduate business school of the Monterrey Institute of Technology (ITESM); one of Latin America’s largest private universities.

Founded in 1995 as a group of business schools attached to some of the Institute’s campuses, a national reorganization in 2010 merged most of them into a semi-autonomous, national graduate school divided in four sites: one serving the metropolitan area of Monterrey – where its rectorate is located – and three serving the metropolitan area of Mexico City.

The school is generally ranked among the best in Latin America by most international financial publications (see Rankings) and in 2008 became the fourth in the region – and the first in Mexico – to achieve simultaneous accreditation by the United States' AACSB, the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) and the British AMBA; which at the time only 34 business schools in the world were holding.

As of 2012 its academic programs include executive, full-time, part-time and in-company master’s degrees in Business Administration, Finance, Manufacturing and Marketing; doctorate degrees; postgraduate diplomas, and more than a dozen double degrees with prominent business schools from overseas (see Joint programs and international partnerships below).
