Padrón Campus at a Glance

Padrón Campus, originally known as InterAmerican Campus, began in 1972 with two night courses at Belen Jesuit Prep School. The 1980s saw rapid growth due to an influx of students from Latin America and the Caribbean, leading to the addition of day classes and full-time faculty. In 1986, it became the InterAmerican Center, the largest bilingual learning environment in higher education.

Achieving “campus” status in 2001, Padrón Campus now offers over 200 degree and certificate programs, including unique offerings like an A.S. in Translation and Interpretation Studies, and a B.A.S. in Supervision and Management. It is also home to the dual-language Honors College and the School of Education.
