Universidad Anáhuac, Catholic university in Huixquilucan, Mexico
Universidad Anáhuac is a Catholic university in Huixquilucan featuring modern buildings, classrooms, research centers, and sports facilities spread across a large campus. The institution provides undergraduate and graduate programs with well-equipped laboratories and libraries supporting academic work across multiple disciplines.
The university was founded in 1964 by the Legion of Christ with classes held in a residential setting before expanding into dedicated academic facilities. Over the following decades it grew into one of Mexico's larger private institutions.
The name Anáhuac comes from the Nahuatl word meaning 'near the water', reflecting a connection to the region's ancient indigenous heritage and the former lake landscape of central Mexico.
The campus is accessible by public transportation or car, with parking available for visitors arriving by vehicle. It's wise to check in advance which areas are open to visitors and during what hours you may explore the grounds.
The institution operates two integrated campuses, one in Huixquilucan and another in Mexico City, unified under single administration since 2016. This dual-location structure allows students to access teaching and research resources at both sites.
