Website www.egade.mx The Escuela de Graduados en Administración y Dirección de Empresas — generally translated as Graduate School of Business Administration and Leadership[8] but officially branded as EGADE Business School since 2010[9][10] — is the graduate business school of the Monterrey Institute of Technology (ITESM): one of Latin America’s largest private universities and one of the most prestigious business universities in America. Founded in 1995 as a group of business schools attached to some of the institute's campuses,[11] a national reorganization in 2010 merged most of them into a semi-autonomous, national graduate school divided in two sites: one serving the metropolitan area of Monterrey — where its rectorate is — and another serving the metropolitan area of Mexico City.[12] The school is generally ranked among the best in Latin America by most international financial publications (see Rankings) and in 2008 its Monterrey campus became the fourth in the region[13] and the first in Mexico[13] to achieve simultaneous accreditation by the United States' AACSB, the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) and the British AMBA.[14] At the time only 34 business schools in the world were holding this ranking.[15] As of 2014 its academic programs include executive, full-time, part-time and in-company master's degrees in Business Administration and Finance; doctorate degrees; and more than a dozen double degrees with business schools from overseas[12] (see Joint programs and international partnerships below).
