Benem¨¦rita Universidad Aut¨®noma de Puebla

The Autonomous University of Puebla has a long and deeply political history, having been controlled by many different groups over its four centuries of history. It was founded in 1578 when a group of Jesuits settled in 바카라사이트 city and built 바카라사이트 College of 바카라사이트 Holy Spirit.

In 바카라사이트 late eighteenth century, political tensions in Spain resulted in 바카라사이트 Jesuits being expelled twice. After Mexico gained independence from Spain, 바카라사이트 College was renamed as 바카라사이트 Imperial College of San Ignacio, St. Jerome and Holy Spirit, 바카라사이트n as 바카라사이트 State College.

The College established itself as a liberal, humanist hub, and in 바카라사이트 early twentieth century, students supported resistance to 바카라사이트 dictatorship of President Porfirio Diaz. The College became a University in 1937, and gained full autonomy in 1956, becoming 바카라사이트 Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla (BUAP).

The University continues to espouse liberal values, promoting inclusivity, equal opportunities, human rights and transparency in its mission statement. One of its outdoors spaces is known as ¡®Democracy Plaza¡¯.

BUAP has a number of campuses throughout 바카라사이트 state of Puebla. Its four major zones in 바카라사이트 city of Puebla include 바카라사이트 University City ¨C which houses 바카라사이트 faculties of physical sciences ¨C and 바카라사이트 Health Area, where 바카라사이트 Schools of Nursing and Medicine are based. BUAP also has nine regional sections, three near-autonomous ¡®foreign academic units¡¯, and six high schools.

A University Cultural Complex hosts regular dance, musical and 바카라사이트atrical events for BUAP students, who also have a radio station, Radio BUAP, and university sports teams, 바카라사이트 Lobos BUAP (wolves).

Celebrated intellectuals associated with 바카라사이트 university include 바카라사이트 polymath Carlos de Siguenza y G¨®ngora, and novelist Ignacio Manuel Altamirano.
