Anáhuac Cancún, a brief history of our campus

The Anáhuac University was founded in 1964 in Mexico City, and in 1968, its first campus “Mexico North” was inaugurated. 32 years later, on the 28th of August 2000, with the commitment to offer an unparalleled education to an increasing number of university students at the forefront of the university’s mission, the Anáhuac Cancun University opened its doors to the first 147 undergraduate students. The first degrees to be offered at the campus were: Law, Communication, International Business, Marketing, Business Administration, Public Accounting, International Tourism, Hospitality & Restaurant Management.

The university was well on its way to positioning itself as the first choice within the community; and expanded its reach very rapidly from then. In 2019, International Business, became the first degree offered completely in English, positioning the Cancun campus as the International Campus for the Anáhuac Network. Today, 22 years on, the Anáhuac Cancun University is house to 3500 students, of which more than 20% come from beyond Mexico’s boarders, we have an offer of 43 degrees, of which 10 are in English, 14 masters' degrees and 2 PhDs.
