The University of San Diego was chartered in 1949 as two institutions, the San Diego College for Women and San Diego University, which covered the men's college and law school, and the two merged in 1972. Bishop Charles Buddy and Mother Rosalie Hill founded it on land called Alcala Park, named for Didacus of Alcala, and the women's college opened in 1952, with the men's college and the School of Law following in 1954. The Spanish Renaissance buildings follow a 16th-century Plateresque style that nods to the University of Alcala in Spain. Wikipedia counts about 9,073 students, and spring 2022 enrollment was 9,041 from 85 countries and 50 US states. The Toreros compete in NCAA Division I in the West Coast Conference, with football in the Pioneer Football League. USD is test-free for undergraduate admission, a policy extended through Fall 2027.
