About IPADE

Practical
IPADE was founded in 1967 by a group of prominent businessmen
with the aim of developing future leaders with the ability to
drive social and economic growth, rooted in personal integrity,
social responsibility and global vision.

All our programs use

the case method.
Instead of lectures,
you learn by analyzing,
discussing
and solving real
business problems.

Inter-personal
Case method is
built around teamwork and direct
contact with
professors and
invited guests.

Networking
Our students have
countless opportunities
to network with
their peers, graduates
and senior
business leaders.

Human Touch
We offer cutting-edge business concepts that
are built upon human dignity and truth.

Our MBA in a few words

Its not a degree, its a lifelong project

Its not just about knowledge,
its about

skills development

Its not about giving up today, its about

constructing tomorrow
Its not about buddying up on social media, its about

building personal relationships

Its not a cultural melting pot, its a

challenging international experience

Its not another academic intake, its a

hand-picked community to which you belong
