Welcome to the University of San Diego For more than six decades, the Univers ity of San Diego has been dedicated to providing a va lues-based education with a mission grounded in the Catho lic intell ectual tradition. Students are encouraged to explore how faith and reason are compatibl e in education and to deve lop strong moral convictions.The univers ity welcomes studen ts, facu lty and sta ff of all faiths, and bel ieves all people benefit from the examina t ion of other t raditions. Like California 's oldest city, the University of San Diego took its name from San Diego de Alcala, a Franciscan friar from Alcala de Henares, a monastery near Madrid, Spain. The university 's 180-acre campus is ca ll ed Alca la Park, and the Spanish Renaissance architecture that characterizes Spain's 500-year-old University of Alcala serves as the inspirat ion for buildings on the university campus. Under the leadership of Mother Ro sa lie Clifton Hill of the Society of the Sac red Heart and Bishop Charles Francis Buddy of the Diocese of Sa n Diego, the University of San Diego began as sepa rate colleges for men and women . The founding charter of the San Diego College for Women and San Diego University - compris ing the San Diego College for Men and the School of Law - was granted in 1949. In 1972, the academic institutions merged into the University of San Diego. Now governed by an independent Board of Trustees, the univers ity remains ded icated to the values originally art iculated by Mother Hill and Bishop Buddy. Students choose from dozens of undergraduate and graduate degree programs in academic d ivisions including the College of Arts and Sc iences, the School of Business, the Shiley- Marcos School of Engineering, the School of Leadershi p and Education Sciences, the School of Law, the Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science, and the Joan 8. Kroc School of Peace Studies.
