The didactic-scientific centre Seminarium Cracoviense Societatis Jesu had been established in Cracow in 1867 and in 1932 obtained the status of academic college as Philosophical Department of Jesus Society. In 1999, a new structure and name were introduced: Philosophical-Pedagogical Academy "Ignatianum" in Cracow. In 2011 it was transformed into Ignatianum Academy. Ignatianum currently runs five colleges: philosophy and culture studies (Philosophical Department), pedagogy, political studies and social work (Pedagogical Department).
