LOCATION San Diego, the second largest city in California, is a thriving metropolitan area and a rapidly growing cen– ter for health, medicine and science. Rich and varied clinical facilities are located within easy distance of the University. Cultural diversities existent in a bilingual community contribute to personal and professional growth . Multiple recreational , cultural and social facil – ities are available and within easy access. The University of San Diego , a dynamic, co– educational Catholic institution , was chartered in 1949. Its first unit, the San Diego College for Women, began classes in 1952. The College for Women was erected, financed and equipped by the Society of the Sacred Heart. The second unit of the University, the College for Men , sponsored and financed by the Diocese of San Diego, was opened in 1954. Its founder , the Most Reverend Charles F. Buddy, first Bishop of San Diego, envisioned the University 's increasingly influential posi– t ion in education, both for the Diocese and for the San Diego community. The first professional school on the Alcala Park campus, the School of Law, was inaugurated in 1954. Change and innovation have marked the educa– tional development of the University of San Diego in recent years. In 1967, there began an effort to provide HISTORICAL SKETCH

~icher educat_ional advantages to the students by shar– ing the curricula ·of the College for Men and the College for Women . This coordination led to the full legal unification of the separate colleges in July, 1972. Tod~y on ~he Alcala Park campus there is a single, co-educational , independent University, Catholic in the post-V~tican II sense, composed of a College of Arts and Sciences and four professional schools -- the School of Law, the School of Education , the School of Busi– iness Adm inistration , and the Philip Y.
