Alberto Hurtado University (Spanish: Universidad Alberto Hurtado – UAH) is a Jesuit university located in downtown Santiago. Established in 1997, the university was created from the merger of three separate institutes: Instituto Latinoamericano de Doctrina y Estudios Sociales (ILADES), the Centro de Investigación, Desarrollo de la Educación (CIDE), and the Fundación Educacional Roberto Bellarmino. The university is named after a famous Chilean Jesuit Saint, Father Alberto Hurtado. UAH is a member of the AUSJAL and of . It receives support from Fundación Mar Adentro.
The school is located in downtown Santiago, one subway stop west of the Presidential Palace. As the school has grown since its inception it has bought several of the larger homes in the area to create class space and faculty offices. One of the buildings the university bought was the former headquarters of the soccer team Club Deportivo y Social Colo Colo.
The University is composed of six schools: Psychology, Education, Philosophy and Humanities, Law, Economics and Business, and Social Sciences.
The School of Economics and Business ILADES is closely connected with its Jesuit partner institution Georgetown University. It is possible to earn a Georgetown Masters of Arts degree in economics by taking all of the classes in Chile. ILADES was the recipient of a grant subsidizing the study of US-Latin American relations.
The School of Education has its own research Center for Investigation and Development in Education (CIDE).
In 2017 the Department of Political Science and International Relations of UAH entered into an agreement with the National Academy of Political and Strategic Studies to join together their critical reflection on Chile's relations with South America.
The Psychology Department has engaged students in the study of the past history of Chile, through Villa Grimaldi Park for Peace.
