A legacy built on ambition. That’s the ITESM-EGADE Campus Monterrey. Founded in 1995 it’s more than just a business school. It’s a testament to Mexico’s growing economic power. EGADE wasn’t the first attempt at a graduate business school at ITESM. A previous school existed from 1964 to the 1970s. It was even partially funded by the Ford Foundation. The goal was to counterbalance communist influence in Latin America. Imagine the weight of that legacy.
The current ITESM-EGADE Campus Monterrey is different. It’s a powerhouse of education. It achieved a remarkable feat in 2008. It gained accreditation from AACSB EQUIS and AMBA simultaneously. Only 34 business schools worldwide had this triple crown. This achievement cemented EGADE’s place among the best in Latin America. It’s a point of pride for Mexico.
EGADE’s success didn’t happen overnight. Jaime Alonso Gómez a Wharton alumnus played a key role. He became the first Latin American to win the Dean of the Year award. This was a huge step for Latin American business education.
The school’s programs are renowned. They offer executive full-time and part-time master’s degrees. There are also doctoral programs. Many double-degree options exist with overseas schools. The OneMBA program for example is a global collaboration. It’s ranked among the best worldwide.
Today ITESM-EGADE Campus Monterrey thrives. It’s more than bricks and mortar. It’s a symbol of ambition achievement and global collaboration. It’s a place where future business leaders are forged. This isn’t just a school. It’s a part of Mexico’s economic story. A story written in ambition drive and global success. A story you are now a part of.
