What Graduados en Ciencias Económicas UNLP does

Centro de Graduados FCE UNLP is a non-profit alumni organization operating within the Facultad de Ciencias Económicas of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) in La Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Established approximately in 1995, the organization has served the Faculty's graduate community for over 29 years and maintains representation on the Faculty's Directorial Council. Its core function is delivering continuing education and professional development courses to graduates, advanced students, faculty and staff, and practicing professionals in economic sciences and adjacent fields.

The product portfolio spans approximately 15-20 active courses priced from ARS $12,500 to ARS $520,000, including payroll processing, consortium administration (with certificates recognized by the Registro Provincial de Administradores de Consorcios for professional matrícula renewal in Buenos Aires Province), tax workshops, financial statement preparation under NUA/RT 54, Microsoft Excel training, social media advertising, international trade, capital markets, cooperative governance, and emerging AI application courses for accounting and consortium management. Delivery occurs through a Moodle-based virtual campus (campus.graduados.net.ar) integrated with Zoom for synchronous classes and a 24/7 Biblioteca Virtual for asynchronous recorded content (accessible for 30 days post-completion), supplemented by in-person courses at the headquarters at Calle 6 #777, 3rd floor, Office 302, La Plata, and through FCE-UNLP Regional Centers in Bolívar, Saladillo, and Crestón.

The revenue model is primarily transactional course fees, supplemented by subscription-style membership discounts for faculty, non-teaching staff, graduates, and students (10% discount), and by the Cuenta DNI program partnership with Banco Provincia. Payments are collected via bank transfer, Mercado Pago, and installment plans. Marketing relies on the institutional website (graduados.net.ar), a YouTube channel (Canal Abierto), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, WhatsApp, and participation in university events. The organization employs approximately 8 staff and operates with no private equity, venture capital, or external ownership — functioning as an extension of the public university system.
