EAFIT in a snapshot
Universidad EAFIT was founded in 1960 by a group of entrepreneurs in Medellín. Its main goal was to educate professionals who would address new challenges in management, finance, and technology. EAFIT started as a "School of Management and Finance." The institution organized itself as a university in 1975.
The university offers degrees in various disciplines through its schools of Finance and Economics, Management, Engineering, Law, Science, and Humanities.
