Universidad del Aconcagua

What Universidad del Aconcagua does

Universidad del Aconcagua is a private Argentine university founded in 1965 and headquartered in Mendoza, operating across five faculties (Ciencias Sociales y Administrativas, Ciencias Económicas y Jurídicas, Ciencias Médicas, Psicología, and the Escuela Superior de Lenguas Extranjeras), the Instituto San Pedro de Nolasco, and the affiliated CUDA secondary school. The institution delivers undergraduate degrees, graduate programs (specializations, master's, doctorates), technical pregrado offerings, and a growing portfolio of continuing-education diplomas, including specialized programs in viticulture-sector English, enotourism management, and gender perspectives. Its core technology infrastructure is a Moodle-based Virtual Campus (campus.uda.edu.ar) integrated with Google Meet for synchronous online delivery, supplemented by a Colegium Cloud instance for the secondary school and an AI Observatory for applied research in artificial intelligence and machine learning for the Mendoza wine industry.

The university operates a direct-to-consumer enrollment model with three annual intake periods (February, August, November) supported by pre-university preparatory courses, WhatsApp inquiry lines, and campus visits. Pricing is denominated in Argentine pesos with tiered discounts for UDA community members (20%) and ESLE community members (30%), and payment is accepted across multiple Argentine rails including Rapipago, MercadoPago, Banco Supervielle, Pago Mis Cuentas, and Pagos Link. Revenue is generated almost exclusively from tuition and academic fees across the multi-faculty portfolio, with the Medicine program carrying a 6-year maximum CONEAU accreditation and an international exchange network spanning 30+ partner universities across 15+ countries functioning as a recruitment differentiator rather than a discrete revenue stream. The institution does not disclose revenue or accept external investment and operates as an independent private university without a parent company.
