History

• Higher education in Guadalajara began in 1586, when a college founded in the city started awarding academic degrees as the first institution in the region to do so, more than two centuries before the university was chartered.瓜达拉哈拉的高等教育始于 1586 年，当地一所学院开始授予学位，是该地区最早授予学位的机构，比大学正式获得特许早了两个多世纪。
