Simón Bolívar University (Mexico)
Open-knowledge reference entry
Simón Bolívar University (Spanish: Universidad Simón Bolívar or USBMéxico) is a private Roman Catholic university in Mixcoac, Benito Juárez, Mexico City. Currently, it teaches 15 bachelor's programmes, 8 master's degree programmes and one specialty. It is named after Venezuelan military and political leader Simón Bolívar.
History
The university began in 1944 when the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception started an education project beginning from the basic levels of learning; with the creation of the preschool and primary levels, the Colegio Simón Bolívar (Simón Bolívar College) was founded. In 1952, they opened the Escuela Normal de Educación Primaria (Normal School – that is, a teacher's college – of Primary Education), this being the first programme for professional training. In 1981, Simón Bolívar University as it is known today arose, conferring bachelor's degrees in graphic design and biology, thus becoming the only private university in the Mexico City metropolitan area to award the latter even now. Nowadays, Simón Bolívar University offers 25 bachelor's and master's programmes.

Campus
The main building, housing the rector's office along with some administrative offices, dates from the 18th century, and is one of the zone's protected residences.
Library
The university's library can be found in a big house that dates from colonial times in which, later, General José Joaquín de Herrera installed his provisional government in 1848, during the Mexican–American War, thus making the building into a national historic monument.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Simón Bolívar University (Mexico)” is open-knowledge reference entry. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Simón, Bolívar and University, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20639974. Authority coordinates are 19.372, -99.185. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1944, 1952, 1981 and 1848.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
