John F. Kennedy John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), also known as JFK, was the 35th president of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was the first Roman Catholic and youngest person elected p ...

. Its Dean, Ernest Arbuckle, assumed the challenge and grouped up a team of professors led by Gail M. Oxley and Alan B. Coleman to evaluate in-site the feasibility of undertaking this ambitious project in Peru. This is how on July 25, 1963, the Peruvian and American governments founded the “Escuela de Administración de Negocios para Graduados, ESAN” or “ESAN, Graduate School of Business” as known in English. Its organization was trusted to the

and professor Alan B. Coleman. Shortly after, a seminar on international high management was taught. A few months later, ESAN opened its doors and professionals from all Latin America applied for studying in the first full-time MBA program in the Spanish-speaking world. The following year, on April 1, 1964, the 1st promotion of the MBA program or ''Programa Magister'' started classes. More than 55 years have gone by since then, but the tone, style and spirit of the American teachers who forged ESAN remain valid even these days in ESAN University and ESAN Graduate School of Business.
