The Ibero-American University Puebla (Ibero Puebla) is a Mexican private institution of higher education sponsored by the Society of Jesus. A spin-off from the main campus located in Mexico City, the Puebla campus was built in response to interest in a Jesuit institution in Puebla State. The university has grown to become an important university for the students in the Southern region of Mexico. It currently offers a high school program, as well as several undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Rooted in the Ignatian educational model, its mission is to be a reference university for its educational quality, research and social articulation, especially in the South of Mexico.
