| University information | Universidad Del Rosario was founded in 1653 by the Spanish Friar Cristóbal de Torres, by Royal decree that recognized it as private, autonomous institution.
Located in the Bogotá’s historic centre, the University has a main building known as ‘the Cloister’. The Cloister is 358 years old and represents an enormous wealth of history both for the University and the country. The university also has two additional locations; the first "Quinta de Mutis" located 10 km from the Cloister and the second, The "North Site" on the outskirts of the city. The "North Site" makes part of the university’s most important growth project. It is expected that by the year 2015, once the construction is finished, all students will be concentrated at that site.
The University holds around 13,000 students in its 21 undergraduate programs, 13 masters and 4 doctorates.
