ADEN University is a private, Florida-licensed online higher education institution headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, operating as part of the ADEN Educational Group.

The university's core technology is a proprietary virtual campus (campus.adenuniversity.us) featuring interactive business simulators, bilingual delivery, and integration with Respondus LockDown Browser for remote exam proctoring. It is supported by a 27-member international faculty with credentials from the Americas, Europe, and Switzerland, and an administrative team of approximately 13 staff under the leadership of President Ricardo Greco Guiñazú and Executive Director Robert Garcia.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with online application in under 10 minutes, supported by content marketing, social media presence, and periodic international events. Cumulative reported outcomes include 500+ graduates, 98% student satisfaction, and an 82 NPS.
