La Universidad EAFIT fue fundada el 4 de mayo de 1960 como una Escuela de Administración y Finanzas privada, en respuesta a las demandas de un mundo en permanente cambio.
La pertinencia de sus programas, el estar cerca del sector productivo y contar con un grupo humano formado con altos estándares de calidad, hacen de la Universidad un espacio en el que se puede acceder al mundo de manera directa, de la mano de un conocimiento que busca legitimar un componente ético que pondera al ser humano y que se apoya en las nuevas tecnologías.
Actualmente, 9000 estudiantes están matriculados en 19 pregrados y 2500 en programas de posgrado, de los cuales 49 son especializaciones, 16 maestrías y 2 doctorados. La Universidad tiene 930 docentes, de los cuales el 81% tiene una maestría o un doctorado.
En investigación, EAFIT tiene 41 grupos de investigación, 40 de estos reconocidos por Colciencias, autoridad nacional en Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, con un presupuesto de 7 millones de dólares en 2010. Hoy EAFIT se declara como una Universidad de docencia con investigación.
Los estudiantes también tienen acceso a un gran número de actividades de extensión entre diplomaturas, programas de idiomas y eventos culturales. Las instalaciones deportivas, clases y espacios tecnológicamente equipados, acceso a wifi en todo el campus, servicios académicos y médicos están también disponibles permanentemente para la comunidad eafitense.
Por otra parte, 116 convenios de colaboración académica con universidades en 34 países facilitan la movilidad saliente y entrante de estudiantes y docentes.
Adicionalmente, EAFIT recibió, en 2010, de parte del Gobierno Nacional la renovación de la Acreditación Institucional de alta calidad hasta 2018, reconocimiento que se entrega a las instituciones que, de manera voluntaria, someten a consideración pública cada uno de sus procesos académicos, investigativos y administrativos.
