History
The university is a daughter institution of St. Andrew's Scots School, an institution founded by Scottish immigrants in 1838. It is named after Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, and its crest is composed of the Saltire (the flag of Scotland), and thistles (the national flower of Scotland).
The current institution was formally established on September 1, 1988, by the Scottish Civil Educational Association of de San Andrés (ACEESA). This entity was superseded in 2010 by the University of San Andrés Foundation (FUdeSA).
The MBA programs taught by the university are accredited by the London-based Association of MBAs (AMBA).
