Universidad Santo Tomás

The Santo Tomás University was originally founded by the Ordo Praedicatorum (Dominicans) on June 13, 1580, in Santafé de Bogotá. In 1608, the Santo Tomás College was re-established, which later merged with the University for General Studies, giving birth to the Santo Tomás College and University, that would also be known as the Thomistic University.
