The University of CEMA is a private university in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was founded by Carlos Rodríguez, along with Roque Fernández and Pedro Pou, as the Center for Macro-economic Studies of Argentina (CEMA) University Institute in 1995, a pioneer in higher education programs in the areas of economics, politics, management, and financeinArgentina.[citation needed][1]
First founded as a research center to contribute to the economic development of the country, the university now offers twelve undergraduate courses, sixteen graduate-level programs, and a wide range of executive education programs. At present, UCEMA has more than 262 faculty members with terminal academic degrees in their fields of study, 6068 alumni, and 1179 students. The comprehensive set of actions carried out by the University includes a wide range of fields; within a framework of humanistic and liberal education.
The beginnings of the UCEMA date back to 1978, the year in which the Center for Macroeconomic Studies of Argentina (CEMA) began its activity. The CEMA, had the purpose of contributing to the dissemination of knowledge (especially diverse and modern economic theories). In 1980s, the center started its offering masters degrees in Economy & Business Administration. In the 1990s, the center started offering masters degrees in Finance, Bank Management, and Agribusiness. Later on, the teaching activities extended to other fields, and in 1995, the study center was transformed into a university. In 1996, the Bachelor of Economics and Bachelor of Business Administration degree courses were created. From the year 2000, the University began to offer doctorate degrees in Economics, Business Administration and Finance. In 2003, the Department of Engineering was created and the Computer Engineering degree was introduced to the list of possible programs. International Relations and Marketing degrees were added in 2009, and the Bachelor of Human Resources in 2015. Degrees in Digital Business, Analytical Business, and Finance, were added in 2020.[citation needed]
In the late 1950s, there was a concern in the Argentine academic world regarding the participation in the development of economic theories that were taking place in various academic centers of international prestige. A preliminary idea was conceived in Chile, in 1955, through the creation of a joint economics program between the University of Chicago and the Catholic University of Chile. This agreement is notable as the program stipulated that, between the end of 1961 and the beginning of 1962, a similar program would be considered in Argentina.
The University of Chicago and UCEMA agreed to operate the Joint Initiative for Latin American Experimental Economics in the city of Buenos Aires. The Initiative is co-chaired by John List; Kenneth Griffin, Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago; and Julio Elías, Director of the Master's in Economics at UCEMA. The main objective of the Initiative is to design field experiments to offer new perspectives in various areas of economic research for Latin American countries, such as education, private provision of public goods, social preferences, environmental economics. The Initiative is based at UCEMA, where it welcomes visiting researchers from the Experimental Economics group at the University of Chicago and invited researchers from other universities working on related issues in Latin America.[2]
UCEMA's two main buildings are in downtown Buenos Aires, a few meters from the intersection of Córdoba and Leandro N. Alem avenues.

The University has more than sixty offices for professors and researchers, more than thirty classrooms with a capacity for forty students, twelve quiet study rooms, rest and recreation rooms, a main hall, a multipurpose room, an auditorium, a computer center, of copying and bar.[citation needed]
The UCEMA library was created concurrently with the Center for Macroeconomic Studies (CEMA) in 1978 at Calle Virrey del Pino 3210 and had a manual catalog that the user had to consult on-site. On October 30, 2007, the UCEMA Library was renamed the "Adrián Guissarri Library", in homage to the economist, Library user, and one of its greatest benefactors: he donated his personal library to the Institution.[citation needed]
The Adrián Guissarri Library updated its services over time and today its collection is made up of printed material, online databases, electronic books, etc. Currently, the Library is located at the UCEMA headquarters at Av. Córdoba 374.[citation needed]
The university offers a lot of executive programs such as Sport Business, Change Management, Behavioral Economics, Customer Experience, and many others.[3]
The institution has five of its own research centers: the Center for Applied Economics (CEA), the Center for the Economy of Creativity (CEC), the Center for Research in Management, Entrepreneurship and Investments (CIMEI), the Interdisciplinary Center for Politics, Business and Economics and the Organization and Productivity Studies (CEOP).[citation needed]
Currently, one of his research works highlighted and consulted by many media is the Executive Professional Basket (CPE). The CPE evaluates the cost of a representative consumption basket for the family group of an executive professional.[citation needed]
