Austral University (Argentina)
Austral University proposes to serve society across the search of the truth, by means of the development and transmission of knowledge, the formation in virtues and the attention of every person according to his transcendent destiny, exercising an intellectual, professional, social and public leadership.
Austral University strives to advance scientific knowledge and to provide its students with the academic and professional skills they need, while also helping them to become well-rounded individuals. The University seeks to foster enthusiasm and eagerness in the quest for knowledge and the meaning of life, as well as commitment to being of service to other human beings. Social awareness, responsibility and excellence are qualities Austral wants to instill in its students. In just a few decades, Austral University has become a renowned higher education institution. The IAE Business School opened its doors in the late 70s. With the passing of tme, other schools were created: Law, Management, Communication, Medicine, Nursing, Engineering and Education. The Schools are very proactive, a feature fostered by the Universitys decentralized structure. All degrees at Austral have been approved by Ministry of Education. The University and its programs have been accredited by the CONEAU, Argentinas accreditation commisssion. Some of its areas are internationally accredited too (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA, Joint Commission International). Local and international students and organizations benefit from an academic offering that encompasses undergraduate and graduate programs (specialization diplomas, masters, doctorates) as well as short-term, faculty-led, and customized programs. The University holds close ties to the private sector in Argentina (consulting services, professional training, internship programs, etc). Most recently the creation and development of Australs Tech Park has become a major initiative in building a bridge between academic knowledge and the professional world. Despite all there is yet to improve and develop, Austral University takes pride in the significant accomplishments its short history has witnessed.
