ESAN University or Universidad ESAN in Spanish (acronym: ESAN) is a non-profit private university, located in Lima, Peru.

Contents

ESAN University is a leading academic institution in business education, that was founded in 1963 as ESAN - Escuela de Administración de Negocios para Graduados, the first graduate business school in the Spanish speaking world and in Peru. Throughout these years ESAN has achieved a relevant role in Peru and Latin America, based on the quality of its MBA program, specialized masters, advanced management and executive education programs among others.

From the years 2003 to 2007, ESAN established ESAN University and launched its first undergraduate programs in business, economics and engineering. Currently, in addition to its master's and executive education programs, it offers the Doctoral Program in Management, as well as nine programs at the undergraduate level and two professionalization programs for adults.

History

In 1962, the USAID - U.S. Agency for International Development, established by the US president John F. Kennedy, summons the main business schools to study the possibility of developing management and businesses programs in Latin America. This project was trusted to Stanford Graduate School of Business. Its Dean, Ernest Arbuckle, assumed the challenge and grouped up a team of professors led by Gail M. Oxley and Alan B. Coleman to evaluate in-site the feasibility of undertaking this ambitious project in Peru.

This is how on July 25, 1963, the Peruvian and American governments founded the “Escuela de Administración de Negocios para Graduados, ESAN” or “ESAN, Graduate School of Business” as known in English. Its organization was trusted to the Stanford Graduate School of Business and professor Alan B. Coleman. Shortly after, a seminar on international high management was taught. A few months later, ESAN opened its doors and professionals from all Latin America applied for studying in the first full-time MBA program in the Spanish-speaking world. [1]

The following year, on April 1, 1964, the 1st promotion of the MBA program or Programa Magister started classes. More than 55 years have gone by since then, but the tone, style and spirit of the American teachers who forged ESAN remain valid even these days in ESAN University and ESAN Graduate School of Business.
