During the 1940s, the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG) experienced a crucial period of academic consolidation and institutional expansion. After overcoming the initial challenges of its founding, the university began to strengthen its academic structure and expand its educational offerings, reaffirming its commitment to excellence and the comprehensive development of its students.

During this period, the UAG focused not only on the development of new faculties and academic programs but also on building a strong university community, where students, professors, and administrators worked together with a shared purpose: to shape leaders committed to the progress of Mexico and society.

Academic Growth and New Schools

The 1940s witnessed the creation of new faculties and specialized programs that responded to the growing demands of Mexican society.

The classrooms of UAG became spaces for reflection, dialogue, and learning, where distinguished professors taught with dedication and academic rigor. Critical thinking, a spirit of inquiry, and social responsibility were fostered in every student.

The first professors not only shared their knowledge without charging fees but also provided the necessary tools for teaching. Thanks to this collective effort, the Faculties of Law, Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, and the Women’s Preparatory School were successively founded.
