Business and Economics

Our origins date back to March 1998 when the Alberto Hurtado University began to teach the Commercial Engineering career, one of the pioneers in what would become our house of studies.

We seek to contribute to human well- being hand in hand with the economic and administrative sciences through the balance between teaching and research in the two areas that support the Faculty’s profession: Economics and Management and Business.
