Business and economics degrees in Argentina

How to study business and economics in Argentina

University and tertiary degrees coexist. Tertiary ones, like Customs Broker, Public Auctioneer or Insurance Advisor, tend to be shorter and focus on a specific job; university ones, like Public Accountant, Business Administration or Economics, cover more subjects and more years, and share many of them in the first years.

There are programs at public and private universities and institutes in Ciudad de Buenos Aires, the conurbano and cities like Rosario, among many others. For university degrees, the CONEAU, the national commission that evaluates and accredits degrees, publishes official information.

How to choose between them

Look at what you do when no one asks you to: if you keep the accounts for a raffle, if you like selling what you no longer use, if you organize your friends for a project or if you're interested in how trade between countries works.

Then think about whether you prefer numbers, people or products: Public Accountant and Finance lean more toward accounting, Human Resources toward people and Marketing toward communicating and selling. Also think about how long you want to study before starting work: a tertiary degree gets you to a specific job sooner; a university degree lets you explore more fields.

If you are torn between Insurance Advisor and Public Accountant, compare the subjects of each one and the degrees offered by each institution. The career test can help you decide between them.
