Just the Facts

History in Brief

La Universidad 51 es una institución de enseñanza a distancia acreditada y sin ánimo de lucro, fundada en 1971 y centrada en ofrecer oportunidades educativas a los estudiantes adultos.

51 initially achieved its mission to provide adult learners with a pathway to a degree through the assessment of learning and the aggregation of credit earned from inside and outside the classroom. It soon added credit by examination, and students could study independently and take exams to validate their knowledge. In the early 2000s, 51 was among the first institutions developing and offering online courses. In 2021, we celebrated our 50th anniversary!
