Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Buenos Aires

The Faculty of Economic Sciences, also simply known as Económicas, is a faculty of the University of Buenos Aires, the largest university in Argentina. Established in 1913 as the Instituto de Altos Estudios Comerciales, it is now the largest faculty within UBA, with over 36,000 grad students. The Faculty of Economic Sciences has the highest rate of international postgraduate students at 30 percent, in line with its reputation as a "top business school with significant international influence."

The faculty has its seat on a Neoclassical building on Avenida Córdoba, one of the main thoroughfares of Buenos Aires. The building was designed by Francisco Tamburini in 1908, and originally also housed the Faculty of Medicine. The building faces Plaza Bernardo Houssay, opposite of which is the new seat of the Faculty of Medicine, the Hospital de Clínicas, and a number of other UBA dependencies.
