Universidad Iberoamericana

The Universidad Iberoamericana is known to Mexico City residents as La Ibero. A private institution, the university is made up of two campuses in Mexico City and in Tijuana. Other campuses in the country are in León, Puebla and Torreón but operate independently from Ibero Mexico City. All the schools are part of the Jesuit University System of Mexico, as is the Technological Institute and Higher Studies of the West (ITESO, in Guadalajara, Jalisco) and the Ayuuk Intercultural Superior Institute (in Jantepec de Candoyoc, Oaxaca).

Although all Ibero schools share the same educational principles and philosophy, they’re autonomous institutions, administratively, financially, and in terms of labor policy. This in such that each campus is in better condition to meet the characteristics and social, economic and environmental challenges of the different regions of the country.
