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

ESAN University is the 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.

In the years 2003, ESAN is established as ESAN University and launches its first university courses in business, economics and engineering since 2007. Currently, in addition to the master's and executive education programs, it offers the Doctoral Program in Management, through its graduate school ESAN Graduate School of Business, in addition to nine programs of 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, Ernst 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 of 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.

The following year, on April 1 of 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.
