Martín-Baró was a close friend and colleague of the scholars Ignacio Ellacuría and Segundo Montes, all of whom were murdered with Martín-Baró by the Salvadoran Army, along with three other colleagues and two employees. Martín-Baró entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus in Orduña, Spain, on September 28, 1959. Shortly after, his superiors transferred him to the novitiate of Villagarcía and then he was sent to Central America, where he completed his second year in the novitiate of the Society of Jesus. At the end of September 1961, his superiors sent him to the Catholic University in Quito where he studied classical humanities. After this, Martín-Baró travelled to Bogotá, where he studied philosophy at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, run by the Jesuits. In 1964 he received his bachelor's degree in philosophy and the next year his licentiate (licenciatura) in philosophy and literature. In 1966 he returned to El Salvador, where he got a job in the Externado San José where he was a teacher and academic coordinator until 1967, when he started teaching at the Universidad Centroamericana "José Simeón Cañas" (UCA). He travelled abroad again in 1967 to study theology in Frankfurt and Louvain. Later he returned to San Salvador to continue his studies in theology. In 1970 he obtained his bachelor's in theology at Eegenhoven in Belgium. Once he completed his studies in theology, he started studies in psychology at UCA where he was also lecturer. In 1975 he completed his licentiate in psychology. He was a Dean of Students between 1972 and 1975 and a member of the University Board. Between 1971 and 1974 he was head of the editorial board of the academic journal Estudios Centroamericanos (ECA). In 1971 and 1972 he taught psychology in the National Nursing Academy in Santa Ana. In 1977 he earned a master's degree in social sciences in the University of Chicago and two years later, in 1979, a Ph.D. in social and organisational psychology in the same institution. In his master's thesis, he wrote about social attitudes and group conflict in El Salvador. In his doctoral dissertation he wrote on population density of the lowest social classes in El Salvador. When he completed his studies he moved back to San Salvador and returned to work at the UCA where he lectured in psychology.
