Overview

Universidad Adventista de las Antillas is a private Seventh-day Adventist university in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, serving the island's west side with instruction primarily in Spanish. It is a small, mission-driven campus organized around Adventist religious life alongside its academic programs.

Academics

Nursing and health sciences, education, and theology are the university's core programs, reflecting both the practical health-workforce needs of western Puerto Rico and the institution's religious mission. Religious study is integrated into the curriculum rather than offered only as an elective.

Worth knowing

Seventh-day Adventist observance, including a Friday-evening-to-Saturday-evening Sabbath, shapes the weekly rhythm of campus life, which students and families should expect as a lived part of attending rather than a background affiliation.
