Graduate from Business Engineering and Project Manager at IBM

"My decision to study at Universidad del Pacífico came from my search for a business career that would allow me not only to understand and design processes, but to focus on projects using information technology as a tool. I saw the possibility of studying Business Engineering since it combined both aspects in one educational proposal. All the tools you learn at the University are useful throughout your working life. The university allows you to learn how to learn".​
