Founded in 1949, USO is located on 180 acres overlooking Miss ion Bay, San D iego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The campus is named Alca la Pa rk and is located just 10 minutes from downtown San Diego and the world famous San Diego Zoo. Historic O ld Town is just minutes away as well. The city of San Diego along with this campus traces their origins to fifteenth century Spain. The campus was named after a Spanish village near Madrid - Alcala de Henares. Founded by the Greeks as Complutum, the village was later renamed Al Kala (the Castle) by the Moslems. Christians recaptured the village centuries later and founded a university, the University of Alcala, whose buildings became the inspiration for USD's style. Both institutions are located on a hill overlooking a river valley. THE CAMPUS The USO campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique insti tutions in the country, featuring 18 major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spanish Renaissance style. The physical beauty of the campus reaches beyond the "eye of the beholder." Reverend Mother Rosalie Hill, one of the institutions founders, believed in the enhancement of learning through beauty and harmony. Hence for the University, beauty is a transcendental quality imparted to students as part of their education to truth and goodness: a simple but profound educational phi losophy. Since 1984, USO has completed eleven major construction and expansion projects. A five-story parking garage was completed in 1998. The 5,000 seat Jenny Craig Pavilion, USD's new Sports/Activity Center, is due to open in the Fall of 2000; and this past October was the ground breaking ceremony for the Joan B. Kroc Peace Institute. A landscaped } fountain plaza was finished in the fall of 1995, connecting the entrances of the lmmaculata and Hughes Administration Center. In 1992, the university completed the 45,000 square foot Loma Hall, which includes an expanded bookstore, a larger mail center, classrooms and laboratories. ACADEMICS USO enrolls more than 6,800 students (3,900 undergraduate) who have a choice of more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The university's academic units include the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business Administration, Education, Law and Nursing. Class size generally averages between 18-25 students with the student to teacher ratio being 18:1 . Over 97 percent of USD's full-time faculty hold doctorates. In the annual ratings of the country's colleges and universities, published by U.S. News & World Report, USO moved from the regional to national category in 1994. The univer sity is ranked among the top 100 schools in the nation. DID YOU KNOW?
