The University of Belgrano (UB) is a private institution that was founded in 1964. The UB's goals are to provide high-quality education, to promote research in all disciplines, and to foster the social and cultural development of the community. After more than thirty years of continuous growth, the University of Belgrano now has thirteen schools devoted to both undergraduate and graduate education in several fields. More than 14,000 students are enrolled in 33 undergraduate majors and 20 graduate programs. The University offers month, summer, semester and year language programs for international studies.

The University itself is situated in a lovely urban area surrounded by parks and residential neighborhoods. Nearby is the commercial center of Belgrano, a suburb in northeast Buenos Aires, only a quick subway or bus-ride away from downtown Buenos Aires.

The University of el Salvador (USAL) is a private university founded in 1955 and was one of the first private universities in Argentina to be sanctioned by national law as an institute of superior private education in Argentina in 1956. With more than one hundred agreements with foreign institutions, it is also a pioneer in international cooperation and student exchanges in Argentina, and welcomes approximately 500 international exchange students each year.

Located within a 10-block radius in buildings throughout downtown Buenos Aires, the USAL has 23,000 students distributed among 74 undergraduate and postgraduate programs and 200 degrees, all of which have been submitted to evaluation and accreditation review through the national agency, CONEAU (National Commission for University Evaluation and Accreditation, Argentina), under the jurisdiction of the Argentine Ministry of Education. Among the most prestigious and largest programs are Medicine, Social Sciences, Modern Languages, Tourism and International Trade.
