Universidad del Desarrollo is known not only for its academic excellence, but also for its entrepreneurial hallmark. This feature has earned it a place of privilege in higher education in Chile and Latin America a mere 20 years since it was founded.
Entrepreneurship is a characteristic that distinguishes its students and professors. It creates an interactive and dynamic environment on campus where innovation and new ideas are constant. Ethics and public responsibility, the hallmark values of UDD, are encouraged not only in the classroom, but are also put into practice in each of the activities conducted at UDD.

Milestones
Accreditation
In 2007, the National Accreditation Commission (CNAP), a part of the Ministry of Education, granted Universidad del Desarrollo institutional accreditation for 5 years with a rating of 7, the highest accolade that the CNAP has ever awarded a private university.
First in Faculty Quality and Leaders in Entrepreneurship
In 2009 our MBA Program was ranked first in the speciality of "Faculty Quality" in Latin America, according to the ranking recently published by America Economia magazine.
Besides, in the past three years this ranking has remarked our MBA Program as one of the leaders in Entrepreneurship in Latin America. This is surely a very important step forward in line with the aims of our institution, which has specifically established “Entrepreneurship” as UDD's hallmark of excellence.
Second-Best School of Medicine
This year the first graduating class of physicians of the Clinica Alemana-Universidad del Desarrollo School of Medicine earned second place in the National Medical Examination (EMN), making it one of the most prestigious Schools of Medicine in the country just 7 years after it was created.
