University of the Salvador, Catholic university in Buenos Aires, Argentina
The University of the Salvador is a private Catholic institution in Buenos Aires founded by the Jesuits, operating across multiple campuses in the region. It offers education through nine faculties and six schools covering administration, social sciences, oriental studies, and veterinary medicine.
The university was established in 1958 from the Superior Institute of Philosophy linked to Colegio del Salvador, following Argentina's authorization of private universities in 1955. This origin within an already-functioning Jesuit school allowed it to develop academic structures rapidly.
The institution bears the name of the city's patron saint and was established by the Jesuit community that has long shaped Buenos Aires. This religious foundation continues to influence the values and identity of the university today.
Classes run on two main semesters from March to July and July to November, with supplementary summer courses between June and August. Visitors and prospective students should keep these cycles in mind when exploring the institution or seeking information about program timing.
The university's motto 'Scientiam do menti, Cordi Virtutem' is Latin for 'Science to the mind, Virtue to the Heart', reflecting its aim to develop students intellectually and morally. This Latin phrase appears on many institution buildings and shapes its educational philosophy.
