History

UADE was founded in 1957 by members of the Cámara Argentina de Sociedades Anónimas as the Instituto Superior de Estudios de la Empresa. Its activities began in the building of Belgrano Av. 687 under the direction of Dr. Jacobo Wainer. 338 business executives enrolled. The first class was delivered by Dr. Anwar Obeid. At the end of that year, the Institute became the Argentina Foundation for Advanced Business Studies. Around 500 business leaders completed the course in 1958 and the following year, at the Plaza Hotel in Buenos Aires, the course for 1959 was opened. In the context of the Law 14,557 of 1958 authorizing the operation of private universities in the country, the Chamber of Corporations decided to create the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa, whose statutes were approved by that institution on June 7, 1963, and the National Executive Power on August 27 of that year.^[13]

In 1968, the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa joined the Council of Rectors of Private Universities (CRUP), after Law 17,604 passed in that year.
