The University of Guadalajara (Spanish: Universidad de Guadalajara, UdeG) is a public research university located in Guadalajara, Jalisco. It was originally established in 1586 and officially founded on 12 February 1791 as the Royal and Pontifical University of Guadalajara. Over the centuries, it has evolved into one of Mexico's leading educational institutions.
The university operates multiple high schools, as well as undergraduate and graduate campuses, which are distributed throughout the state of Jalisco. It is widely regarded as the most significant university in the region. Based on its foundation date, it is the second-oldest university in Mexico, the seventeenth-oldest in North America, and the fourteenth-oldest in Latin America.
Since 1994, the University of Guadalajara has operated under a network model to organize its academic activities. This university network comprises 15 university centers, the Virtual University System, the High School Education System, and the university's general administrative body. During the 2014–2015 academic year, the university had a total enrollment of 255,944 students, including 116,424 undergraduate and graduate students and 139,520 high school students.
At the time of its foundation in 1586, the college began offering higher education in Guadalajara, making it the first institution in the region to grant academic degrees. The first recorded request to establish a university in Guadalajara was made in 1696 by Friar Felipe Galindo y Chávez, who petitioned King Charles II of Spain to expand the recently founded Royal Seminary of San José. This initiated a century-long process that ultimately led to the establishment of the University of Guadalajara. Chronologically, the university is the second-oldest in Mexico, the seventeenth-oldest in North America, and the fourteenth-oldest in Latin America.
The proposal by Friar Felipe Galindo y Chávez was reconsidered by lawyer Matías Ángel de la Mota Padilla, who, in 1750, successfully involved Guadalajara's city hall in the project. However, the need for a university in Nueva Galicia became more pressing after the expulsion of the Jesuit Order from all Spanish territories in 1767. The Jesuits had managed the two most important colleges in the city: Santo Tomás College and San Juan Bautista College, leaving a significant gap in higher education.
On 12 December 1771, Friar Antonio Alcalde y Barriga arrived in Guadalajara as the new Bishop of Nueva Galicia. He became a key supporter of the university's foundation. In 1775, he responded to an inquiry from King Charles III of Spain, who sought advice on the feasibility of establishing a university in Nueva Galicia. The bishop's response was entirely favorable, and on 18 November 1791, King Charles IV of Spain issued a royal decree officially proclaiming the foundation of the Royal University of Guadalajara.
The royal decree arrived in Nueva Galicia on 26 March 1792, prompting local authorities to celebrate and swiftly renovate Santo Tomás College in preparation for the new university. As a result, the University of Guadalajara was officially founded on 3 November 1792. By mutual agreement between Friar Antonio Alcalde and the President of the Royal Audience, Jacobo de Ugarte y Loyola, José María Gómez y Villaseñor was appointed as the university's first Rector. Academically, the university initially consisted of four faculties: Arts, Theology, Law, and Medicine.
The university aligned itself with Agustín de Iturbide's Plan of Iguala, which led to the conclusion of Mexican War of Independence. As a result, it retained its royal status. However, with the proclamation of the First Mexican Empire under Emperor Agustín I, its designation changed to imperial. When the Mexican Republic was later established, the university became a national institution.
The General University Council is the highest governing body of the university. It is composed of 186 members, chaired by the General Rector, and includes representatives from students, academics, and department heads. Each year, the student and academic representatives in the General University Council are elected through direct and secret suffrage by their peers.
The General Rector is the highest executive authority of the university. The Rector also serves as the university's legal representative and as the president of both the General University Council and the Rectors' Council. The Rector is elected by the members of the General University Council and serves a term of six years, starting on the first day of April.
The Rectors' Council is the body responsible for planning and coordinating the entire University Network. It is composed of the General Rector (who presides over the council), the Executive Vice-Rector, the General Secretary, the headmasters of each university campus, the headmaster of the Virtual University System, and the headmaster of the High School Education System.
Currently, the University of Guadalajara has fifteen undergraduate and graduate campuses. Of these, six specialize in different areas of study and are located in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, while eight regional campuses are situated in various regions of the State of Jalisco.
Also known as the Baccalaureate Education System (from the Spanish literal translation), this branch of the University Network is responsible for the instruction and dissemination of baccalaureate education since the institutional restructuring in 1994. In the 2015-2016 period, it was composed of 166 schools located in 109 municipalities across Jalisco. These schools include: 24 metropolitan high schools, 36 regional high schools, 4 metropolitan offices, 78 regional offices, and 24 regional extension centers.
The total number of students enrolled in this period was 135,244, who are studying one of the 24 high school education options. Additionally, the system oversees approximately one hundred incorporated high schools, which are officially recognized by this body.
The Virtual University System (VUS), commonly known as UDGVirtual in Spanish, is a decentralized body of the University of Guadalajara responsible for administering and developing distance education programmes. These programs include baccalaureate education (Baccalaureate by Competencies Online) as well as higher education, covering both undergraduate and postgraduate curricula.
The Virtual University System (VUS) has a presence in 108 municipalities of Jalisco, all 32 federal entities of Mexico, and ten countries worldwide. There are 3,953 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Mexico, with 69% (2,768 students) residing in Jalisco. After Jalisco, the states with the highest enrollment are the State of Mexico with 9% (349 students) and Mexico City with 4% (167 students).
Among all students enrolled in educational programmes, 43 are studying abroad: 27 in the United States, 4 in Ecuador, 3 in Colombia, 2 in Spain, 2 in Canada, and the remaining students in Bulgaria, Chile, Peru, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Of these 43 students, 32 are Mexican nationals residing abroad, including 1 in Bulgaria, 2 in Canada, 2 in Spain, 25 in the United States, 1 in Puerto Rico, and 1 in the Dominican Republic. Additionally, the student population includes 28 foreign nationals, of whom 17 reside in Mexico, while 11 study remotely from their home countries.
Currently, the University of Guadalajara offers a wide range of educational programmes at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. As of the first period of 2015, the university provides the following educational programmes:
