UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The pioneering undergraduate program at Adolfo Ibáñez
Business School was one of the first of its kind in Chile.
UAI Business School has the
largest number of applicants in
the country. Students can
major in Business Administration
or Economics. The total number
of students is over 3400 (61%
male, 39% female).
The undergraduate program
curriculum combines subjects
that are traditionally studied in
Business Administration and
Economics, such as finance and
marketing, along with a solid
foundation in liberal arts. This
enables students to develop
critical and analytical abilities.
There are a series of
workshops, allowing students
the opportunity to participate in
projects that involve interaction
with the real business world.
The School strives to develop
graduates who can successfully
lead organizations that thrive in
a global, innovative economy, and
adapt to constant changes in the
business environment.
The School is committed to raise
issues of Ethics, Responsibility
and Sustainability. The strength
of a great business school is
based not only in its ability to
teach students management
fundamentals, finance and other
traditional business disciplines,
but also it is the School’s
responsibility to increase student
understanding of the conflicts
and tradeoffs that sometimes
arise from balancing business
conduct with the concerns of
society and individuals.
[9]
STUDENT LIFE AND
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
UAI encourages students to actively engage in service-minded
activities. Students are empowered to create their own
organizations geared toward developing outreach activities and
projects that have a strong social impact.
The university offers
an engaging social and
professional life for students.
Professionally, students are
exposed to important business
and political figures from Chile
and abroad as guest speakers.
Socially, students can access a
variety of activities, including
fitness and outdoor sports,
and common-interest clubs on
different areas, such as music,
photography, chess, painting,
hiking and improv-acting.
A number of student
associations work on social
impact issues, such as:
» Trabajos Voluntarios
(Volunteering Initiative).
Students work during their
winter and summer breaks
building and repairing homes.
Throughout the year they
organize diverse activities with
youth from economically poorer
neighborhoods.
» Jonic. This group organizes
the National Business
Administration Congress. Each
year Jonic gathers the best

political and social issues.

business leaders who are focused on creating value to society.

globalized world. In order
to have discussions which
generate profound learning,
emphasis is placed on case
studies and real experiences.
