Centro Histórico

Set inside the former convent of San Jerónimo in Centro Histórico — the same walls where poet and scholar Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz lived for decades — this private university offers degrees in humanities, gastronomy, psychology, law, and peace studies. The campus itself is open to the public, with cloistered courtyards, gardens, and the Divino Narciso auditorium (free admission with check-in at the entrance).

Students rehearse and perform throughout the grounds, and the space hosts opera, classical guitar recitals, graduations, and rotating cultural events. During Noche de Museos, guided tours of the historic building are available, though quality of information can vary depending on the guide.
