The Adolfo Ibáñez University (Spanish: Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez) (UAI) is a private university in Chile pertaining to the Adolfo Ibáñez Foundation. In 1988, according with the new educational legislation, a new university was founded on the base of the Valparaiso Business School (Escuela de Negocios de Valparaiso), an old institution for the professional teaching in business administration founded in 1953 thanks to the contribution of Adolfo Ibáñez Boggiano. The new university would take its name some decades later.
In the Chilean higher educational scheme, UAI is a private university accredited in the country by the Comisión Nacional de Acreditación (CNA) and internationally by AACSB and AMBA.
The Adolfo Ibañez University is ranked 1° Private University in Chile according to América Economía, and the CSIC (Spanish institution for University research)
The Valparaiso Business School (Escuela de Negocios de Valparaíso), was established in 1953 under the protection of the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso. It is noted for being the first educational institution in Chile to offer the business administration career, as well as one of pioneers in Latin America.
In 1995, the humanistic subjects were introduced into the career to make a little change in the students of a career like Business administration.
In the early 1970s, the alliance between the business school and the university was broken, and after a few years of autonomy, a new alliance was signed with the Federico Santa María Technical University, a new association that would remain until the late 1980s.
In 1979, it became the first business school to introduce an MBA program in Chile.
After the educational reform brought about by the military government, in the last years of the 1980 decade, Adolfo Ibáñez University was founded with the business school like central axis. In 1989 the careers of Laws and Engineering were opened, in 1996 Journalism and Pedagogy and in 2002 Psychology. During 2002 the new Peñalolen Campus was opened in Santiago.
