VISION AND MISSION

PROFIL
The Faculty of Economics and Business is one of the 11 faculty members at Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP). Its establishment was marked by the UNP Rector’s Decree Number 05/J4/KP/2005, dated January 2, 2005, which authorized the opening of the Faculty of Economics and its undergraduate (S-1) education with four study programs: Economics Education, Management, Accounting, and Development Economics. Additionally, the faculty offers one postgraduate (S-2) program, namely, a master’s in management.  This decree was issued by the rector with the approval of the Directorate General of Higher Education, Department of National Education, as per DIKTI Decree number 2816/D/T/2004, dated July 22, 2004. The Faculty of Economics and Business is an extension of the Economics Department of the Faculty of Social Sciences at UNP. Although it is the youngest faculty member, it cannot be disassociated from the history of UNP itself. UNP was established as a result of the conversion of IKIP Padang into a university, originally known as Teacher Education College (PTPG). The UNP Faculty of Economics officially changed to the UNP Faculty of Economics and Business on June 5, 2023, through Rector’s Decree 524/UN.34/OT/2023 concerning the Change of the Name of the Faculty of Economics to the UNP Faculty of Economics and Business.

The development economics study programs were subsequently opened based on the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 2542/D/T/2001, dated August 2, 2001.
