Our San Juan Campus
The San Juan campus, established in 1966, is part of the history of the walled city of Old San Juan. This Albizu University (AU) campus was the first Hispanic institution of higher education in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean to receive accreditation from the American Psychological Association (APA). Today, the facilities include modern classrooms, a community clinic providing mental health and speech-language pathology services, a library, a scientific research center, and a modern computer lab.
The Chancellor leads the campus and fulfills the university’s mission to educate, conduct research, and serve the community. The university’s mission focuses on academic excellence through a pluralistic and multidimensional perspective; preparing students to work in a complex and diverse modern society; improving quality of life in our communities by training competent professionals in multicultural settings; and an educational philosophy grounded in social commitment across all programs and services.
The Chancellor ensures that everyone on campus—faculty, administrators, non-faculty staff, and students—works together to advance the mission through a strategic plan derived from the institution’s mission. The Chancellor provides vision, gathers and manages resources, and fosters a work environment that supports the university’s goals and objectives.
The Chancellor’s Office works with the university president, faculty, non-faculty staff, students, and the community to ensure the campus maintains an essential community presence and responsibly advances the university’s mission in support of higher education.
