The University of San Diego is one of twelve diocesan colleges and universities in the United States. Chartered in 1949 and empowered by the State of California to grant degrees, the University is fully accred- ited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Catholic in every sense of the word, students are welcome without respect to creed or color. A strong foundation in humanities is provided to stimulate individ- ual moral and intellectual growth. The fac- ulty is dedicated to infuse each student with a sound education and high regard for ethi- cal living. There are excellent science facili- ties and the libraries accommodate over half a million volumes. The 221-acre campus, with twelve beautiful buildings of Spanish Renaissance architecture, is near Linda Vista, overlooking San Diego Harbor, Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The University is ideally close to business, cultural, residential and recreational areas of San Diego, the birthplace of California and now the third largest city. The proximity to Mexico affords the student opportunity to become acquaint- ed with foreign culture. The University has complete facilities for study, sports and social functions.
