History

University of Guadalajara, coeducational state-supported autonomous institution of higher learning at Guadalajara, Mex., founded in 1792 and restructured in 1925. Dissident students and professors from the university formed a private Autonomous University of Guadalajara (1935), which continues to exist independently. The original university includes faculties covering a wide range of academic and professional disciplines and schools of architecture, art, nursing, music, technology, social work, agriculture, and veterinary medicine, among others. There are also institutes of astronomy and meteorology, botany, experimental pathology, library science, geography and statistics, and psychiatry.
