Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB, ASOEE, or OPA) (Greek: Οικονομικό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών (Ο.Π.Α.), Oikonomiko Panepistimio Athinon (OPA)) was founded in 1920 in Athens, Greece.

Before 1989, the university was known in Greek as Ανωτάτη Σχολή Οικονομικών και Εμπορικών Επιστημών (Α.Σ.Ο.Ε.Ε.), Anotati Sholi Oikonomikon kai Eborikon Epistimon (A.S.O.E.E.), and in English as the Athens School of Economics and Business. Though the university's official name has changed, it is still known popularly in Greek by this former acronym.

[edit] History

The university's earliest predecessor was the Athens School of Commercial Studies, founded in 1920. In 1926 it was renamed as Athens School of Economics and Business, and its current name was given in 1989.

Prior to 1955, only one degree was offered at the school, in Economics and Business. In that year, the offerings were split into two separate degrees, in Economics and in Business Administration. In 1984, the school was divided into three departments: Department of Economics, the Department of Business Administration and the Department of Statistics and Informatics.

AUEB has been selected by the European Union as the Center of Excellence for European Studies in Greece. The European Documentation Center of the AUEB is the coordinator of all the European Documentation Centers of Greek Universities.
