Universidad Panamericana  was founded in 1967 as a business school. The original group of scholars and business people who founded the Pan-American Institute of Top Business Management (IPADE), soon began promoting what is today Universidad Panamericana. The Pan-American Institute of Humanities (IPH), precursor to Universidad Panamericana, was founded in 1968. In 1978, IPH was elevated to the rank of university, and took the name Universidad Panamericana, even though both IPADE and IPH had initially conceived knowledge as being unitary and universal- that is, a university. Universidad Panamericana has four campi which give service to almost 12 thousand students in 33 degree programs. The first campus was inaugurated in Mexico City in 1968, the second in Guadalajara in 1981 and a third in Aguascalientes in 1989. Campus Santa Fe, also located in Mexico City, was inaugurated in 2011. As one university with one spirit, UP works daily on three foundational pillars: teaching, research, and transmission of culture. In virtue of an agreement between the Governing Board and the Prelature of Opus Dei, Universidad Panamericana has entrusted to that Prelature the spiritual attention and doctrinal guidance of all its activities. The University, in its few decades of life, has come to occupy a place as one of the top universities in Mexico.

MISSION : Educate persons who seek the truth and commit to it, promoting a Christian humanism which contributes to building a better world.

VISION : As a university, become a global referent through academic quality, ethical formation, and a Christian view of life. Be a university whose alumni are socially responsible and aspire to professional and personal fulfillment. Graduate students choose Boston University’s Questrom School of Business for a dynamic, innovative experience that prepares them for the rapidly evolving and highly competitive business landscape. They believe in Questrom’s mission of creating value for the world, where socially responsible and ethical behavior is an integral part of organizational decisions.

Student life

Universidad Panamericana offers a variety of cultural activitesdifferent sport options as well as an active student life with more than 20 different student groups and associations. 

The dissemination of culture is the function of the university that faces the most difficulties in the educational process, often failing to take advantage of the creativity, expression and innovation that art and culture bring to the curriculum. This is a consequence of the globalisation of the economy, the digital society, the increase in cultural diversity, the change in notions of space and time, the push for science over art.

Advances in various scientific research, within the framework of aesthetics, pedagogy, psychology and neuroscience have shown how the artistic dimension improves the human dimension, cognitive skills such as attention, concentration, analysis and synthesis, and social skills such as expression and communication are enhanced through art.

We encourage and promote the values involved in physical activities.

We also see sport as part of the integral development of our students and as a perfect complement to academic life.
