    About Us

    Universidad Javeriana

    Pontificia Universidad Javeriana is a private university in Colombia, founded in 1623 by the Society of Jesus. It ranks among the top institutions in the country (#1 in Colombia according to the 2018 Times Higher Education World University Ranking and #4 according to the 2019 QS Ranking). Our mission is the global development of the person through emphasis on teaching, research, and relevance to social issues. The University has campuses in Bogotá and Cali. The Bogotá Campus has 18 Schools, which offer a total of 38 undergraduate programs, 59 masters programs, and 10 doctoral programs.

    Our Department

    Our Department is part of the School of Economics and Management, along with the Departments of Economics and Accounting. We offer an undergraduate program in Business Administration, as well as several graduate programs, including an MBA and an EMBA (offered jointly with Temple University). Our faculty consists of roughly 40 full-time professors in 5 areas: Organizational Behavior & Human Resource Management, Strategy, Finance, Marketing, and CSR. By joining the Department of Business Administration, you will benefit from a collaborative, international, and research-friendly environment. The scientific life within the faculty is rich and includes both internal and external seminars, conferences, and workshops.

    Bogotá

    Bogotá is the capital of Colombia and one of the largest metropolitan areas in Latin America. Its cultural offerings and its food scene are rivaled by only a few (take a look here). Its airport (El Dorado) has won the Skytrax Prize for the best airport in Latin America and offers direct flights to several US and European hubs. For those curious about the cultural and natural diversity that Colombia has to offer, intense airline competition on major domestic routes has led to very affordable prices.

    We will conduct interviews at the 2018 AOM meeting in Chicago.
