The Escuela de Graduados en Administración y Dirección de Empresas — generally translated as Graduate School of Business Administration and Leadership but officially branded as EGADE Business School since 2010 — is the graduate business school of the Monterrey Institute of Technology (ITESM): one of Latin America’s largest private universities and one of the most prestigious business universities in America.
Founded in 1995 as a group of business schools attached to some of the institute’s campuses, a national reorganization in 2010 merged most of them into a semi-autonomous, national graduate school divided in two sites: one serving the metropolitan area of Monterrey — where its rectorate is — and another serving the metropolitan area of Mexico City.
The school is generally ranked among the best in Latin America by most international financial publications (see Rankings) and in 2008 its Monterrey campus became the fourth in the region and the first in Mexico to achieve simultaneous accreditation by the United States' AACSB, the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) and the British AMBA. At the time only 34 business schools in the world were holding this ranking.
As of 2014[update] its academic programs include executive, full-time, part-time and in-company master's degrees in Business Administration and Finance; doctorate degrees; and more than a dozen double degrees with business schools from overseas (see Joint programs and international partnerships below).
