History of Sanata Dharma 

Sanata Dharma Teacher Training College (1955-1958)

Although Sanata Dharma began to be recognized as a university in April 1993, its history dates back to 1955 when Catholic Priests, particularly those of the Order of the Society of Jesus in central Java and lay intellectuals decided to found a teacher-training college. By then, the Order had run a one-year diploma course in Education under the de Britto Foundation in Yogyakarta managed by Father H. Loeff, S.J. and in English under the Loyola Foundation in Semarang by Father W.J. van der Meluen, S.J. and Father H. Bastiaanase, S.J.

Later, with the support of thr Congregatio de Propaganda Fide, Father Kester, the then Superior of the Jesuit Missionaries, united these courses into a higher learning institution and so was born Sanata Dharma Teacher Training Instititue on October 20, 1955 and was officially inaugurated by the Indonesian government on December 17, 1955. At the onset, Sanata Dharma had 4 departments: Education, English, History, and Natural Sciences. The superior of the Jesuit mission appointed Father Nicolaus Driyarkara, S.J. as the Dean and Father H. Loeff as the Vice Dean.

The name “Sanata Dharma” was coined by Father K. Looymans, S.J., who was then an officer in the Department of Education and Culture at the Office of the Indonesian Bishops. “Sanata Dharma” means “the true dedication” or “the real service”. The dedication and the service have been devoted to the nation and the church (Pro Patria et Eclessia)

Faculty of Teacher Training of Catholic University of Indonesia (1958-1965)

In November 1958 Sanata Dharma was renamed Sanata Dharma Faculty of Teacher Training and Education and was a member of the Association of Catholic Universities in Indonesia.

Sanata Dharma Institute of Teacher Training and Education (1965-1993)

Being independent and autonomous, in 1965 this Faculty is changed into Sanata Dharma Institute of Teacher Training and Education. Since 1979 this institute had run a Bachelor and Diploma programs in Mathematics, Physics, Indonesian, English, Social Science.

Sanata Dharma University (1993 to date)

Finally, to meet the demands and needs of the community and the progress of science and technology, on April 20, 1993, the Sanata Dharma Institute of Teacher Training and Education was developed into Sanata Dharma University. With this development Sanata Dharma University is expected not only to improve the system of teacher training but also to fully participate in the development of science and technology.

As a university, Sanata Dharma has been challenged to broaden its study programs. While maintaining Teacher Training Programs in the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, the university opened new faculties. Currently Sanata Dharma runs 8 faculties with 25 undergraduate study programs, 3 graduate programs, and 1 professional education program, and 3 certified courses. Since then, Sanata Dharma has experienced a lot of progress and development, such as the construction of physical facilities (buildings, laboratories, libraries, and a student center), the upgrading of administration (information system, management, and their supporting units, such as bureaus, centers, or institutions), and the improvement the academic quality, research, instruction, and social service to the community.
