About the University and the School
University of Los Andes is a private university founded in 1948. It is a non-profit, non-partisan, and non-denominational institution of recognized academic excellence and leadership in Colombia and Latin America. Currently, the University has approximately 17,000 students (75% undergraduate, 25% graduate) who are enrolled in 31 undergraduate, 76 master, and 18 doctoral programs distributed in nine schools.
The School of Management (UASM) is an AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA accredited School, and it’s the only School in Colombia that has achieved this distinction. Founded in 1972, it is recognized as one of the top schools in Latin America, thanks to its faculty, educational achievements, research and publications tradition, as well as the strong relations with the corporate world.
Currently, UASM has 75 full-time faculty who are appointed to the areas of Management, Finance, Strategy, Marketing, Organizations, and Sustainability and who belong to several research groups such as corporate governance, social entrepreneurship, business history, environmental management, and women in leadership positions.
Research is funded by internal and external sources. Internally, core faculty have access to a number of funding opportunities from the University’s Vice President for Research, including a special fund allocation for newly hired assistant professors. Externally, the School provides strong support for professors to obtain funds by participating in competitive calls. In the period 2018-2022, the School secured about 3.7 million Euros, divided equally between research projects and consulting with research components.
The School has a consolidated portfolio with a diverse range of academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate level which are complemented by a series of high-quality and long-standing Executive Education programs.
The Sustainability Area was formally created as a functional administrative unit of the School in 2014. The Area constitutes an interdisciplinary group that aims at generating knowledge and building management capabilities (among private and public actors) consistent with sustainable development principles. Backgrounds of group members (full-time and adjunct) include management, ecology, environmental sciences, economics, engineering, geography, political science, public policy, and sociology.
In addition to teaching and undertaking research on sustainability and sustainability management, faculty of the Sustainability Area have created and led a number of impactful projects. These include programs such as the Latin American Center for Sustainable Development Goals, the Center for Sustainable Finance, the Sustainable Enterprise Network Program (RedES in Spanish), an observatory of Colombia’s National Natural Park System (Parques como vamos), and a National Environmental Advocacy Forum (Foro Nacional Ambiental).
