    Confucius Institute of Medellín ​


    Due to China’s enhanced global standing, it is increasingly necessary to learn Mandarin and become familiar with the customs of that country’s ancient culture. For this reason, EAFIT, Universidad de Antioquia, and the Medellín municipal government formed an alliance with the People’s Republic of China that led to the establishment of a Confucius Institute in the city in 2010. The southern branch of that cultural establishment is located in one of the houses the university acquired in the Aguacatala neighborhood. ​

          Nearly 9,600 undergraduate students and 3,061 graduate students are enrolled in the undergraduate, graduate certificate, master’s degree, and doctoral programs offered by the schools of Administration, Applied Sciences and Engineering, Arts and Humanities, Law, and Finance, Economics and Government. This student community enjoys numerous benefits that extend beyond academics, including cultural, athletic, and outreach opportunities.  Students hail not only from Medellín and the Valle de Aburrá metropolitan area, but from other regions of Colombia, especially the Atlantic Coast and the Eje Cafetero (Coffee Growing Axis). And it is increasingly common to see young people of other nationalities at our institution. Over the past several years, EAFIT has also set its sights on building an elite academic community that contributes to regional and national progress. As part of that mission, it offers a scholarship program that benefits nearly 23 percent of the student body.

          Children and Senior Citizens​​

          Children and Senior Citizens​​

          Academic training at EAFIT begins from an early age thanks to the Children’s University, a program that promotes knowledge acquisition by drawing on kids’ natural curiosity. This initiative brings the university’s storehouse of scientific knowledge to some 659 children between the ages of seven and 17 from public and private schools. The program is divided into three phases: Question-Based Encounters, Knowledge Expeditions, and Science Projects. Each combines playful elements, reflections, and observations to build scientific knowledge that transforms these young minds and provides them with a fresh perspective on how to foster the country’s social development.  What is more, the learning process never ends at EAFIT. The Knowledge for Life program, part of the Continuing Education Center, offers courses in different academic areas, wellness classes, and international programs for senior citizens. Some 586 participants benefit from this program at the Medellín campus as well as at EAFIT Bogotá, EAFIT Pereira, and EAFIT Llanogrande.

          Campus

          Students, teachers, employees, alumni, and the general public find abundant greenery on EAFIT’s main campus, where technology coexists alongside tropical flora and fauna.

          EAFIT is a place to study and learn but also to investigate, innovate, create, explore, experience culture, and feel a sense of wellbeing. A place to stay...​​​

          Located on the south side of Medellín, in the El Poblado sector, the main campus covers nearly 128,000 square meters (31 acres) and features blocks of classrooms, offices, laboratories, athletic facilities, auditoriums, small squares, gardens, and other spaces conducive to research, academic, sporting, cultural, and leisure activities.​​

          The Engineering Building is a major architectural highlight on campus and one of the country’s green buildings due to its natural façade insulation, rainwater harvesting and reuse system, low-wattage lighting, and air flow control system for air conditioning optimization.​

          The seventh and eighth floors of that same building have been set aside as a space for senior administrators of the university’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Science in Applied Finance (MAF) programs.​

          Other emblematic constructions on campus include the Luis Echavarría Villegas Cultural Center and Library; and Blocks 26, 27, and 38, where the schools of Management, Economics and Finance, Law, Humanities, and Sciences are located. In addition, the Argos Center for Innovation is currently being built on the west side of campus.​​

          The university has expanded in recent years, acquiring several residences in the La Aguacatala neighborhood that currently house the Asia Pacific Studies Center and the southern branch of the Confucius Institute of Medellín, the Artistic Development Department, the Business English Program, the Institutional Marketing Department, the Urban and Environmental Studies Center (Urbam), the EAFIT University Press, the Cultural Promotion Area, the Creative Communication Area, the Alumni Center, and other divisions.​

          Further growth will also be possible because of the university’s acquisition of Los Guayabos, a park located opposite the main campus where many of the projects contemplated in the institution’s Master Plan are to be situated.​

            University-Park​​

            Architect Juan Fernando Forero, who was commissioned by the EAFIT president’s office to change the campus layout, found the university was oriented toward the Medellín River and decided to move it more toward its physical center, where the Student Plaza is presently located.​​

            Each of these architectural spaces is in harmony with nature, enabling different species of flora and fauna to blend in with and compliment the built infrastructure and make the campus a University-Park.​​

            Also contributing to this symbiotic relationship between nature and architecture are sculptures such as Hugo Zapata’s El Ágora and Rony Vayda’s Los Propileos.​

            This University-Park, designed by town planners Carlos Uribe and Jorge Mesa, earned the institution the 2008 Lapiz de Acero Award in the Public Spaces category. ​

            Our History

            EAFIT, present and future

            After the establishment of EAFIT on May 4, 1960, local perspectives regarding academic training in business administration changed. This foundation was driven by the need for new ideas in response to profound political, social, and economic tensions. Thus, in the midst of this context, 19 visionary individuals, together with local officials and with support from the US government, signed the charter of the School of Administration and Finance (EAF) on August 17 of the same year. In a borrowed room inside a bank in the city center, Professor Bernard J. Hargadon taught the first accounting class to 59 students enrolled in the undergraduate degree in Business Administration. Thus, the desire to provide the country with locally trained professionals in management, contributing to the nation's industrial growth became a reality.

            Months later, the Institution moved to a larger building in the center. There, in 1962, the Technological Institute began work, initially offering Textile, Industrial, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Programming courses. Finally, on August 14, 1963, the University moved to its current campus, located in the Aguacatala neighborhood in the southern part of the city.

            But the desire to grow and improve was not only expressed in the area of infrastructure. Over the years, the Institution continually opened up to new fields of knowledge. In 1971 it was formally recognized as a university and subsequently comprised of four schools: Administration (1979), Engineering (1979), Sciences and Humanities (1997), and Law (1999). Continuing with its process of expansion and strengthening in the different areas of knowledge, EAFIT opened the School of Finance in 2012 and the School of Science in 2015. Additionally, the university established the first doctorate in Administration in the country in 2004. The doctoral program in Engineering began three years later. Currently, EAFIT offers 25 undergraduate degrees, around 38 certificate programs in Medellin and other cities, 47 masters' degrees, and six doctorates.​​

            EAFIT is a university that inspires the current generation to embark on a life project that maximizes their potential. It is an institution that both conveys and generates knowledge, thus fulfilling its role as a teaching and research university.​​​​​
