Stanford Business School's Offspring in Peru Spreads Worldwide
More than 40 years ago, the Business School created the first graduate management school in South America, called ESAN Escuela de Administración de Negocios para Graduados). Today ESAN, headquartered near Lima, Peru, has graduated more than 4,000 MBAs and welcomed more than 50,000 executive education participants. A full-fledged university that also awards doctorates, it boasts 32 tenure-track faculty and another 100 teachers and operates programs throughout Peru and the world. Alan B. Coleman, PhD '60, who became ESAN's founding dean in 1963, was back on the Peruvian campus in July to receive the school's first honorary doctorate. The award was part of ESAN's celebration after being elevated to university status by the Peruvian government. Details
