Catholic University of Uruguay
Catholic University of Uruguay (Spanish: Universidad Católica del Uruguay) (UCU) is a private university in Uruguay. Established in 1985 as the successor to several Catholic educational institutes dating back to the 1870s, it was the only private university in the country until 1996. It is affiliated with the Society of Jesus and belongs to the world network of Jesuit universities.
Its main campus is spread out in six locations in the capital city Montevideo and there are two other campuses, in Punta del Este and Salto.
The university was founded by the Archbishop of Montevideo, Monseigneur Mariano Soler, in 1882. In 1985, it was reopened and entrusted to the Society of Jesus. The university seeks to promote a combination of academic excellence, ideological pluralism, ecumenism, and inter-religious dialogue.
From its beginning, the Catholic University of Uruguay gave itself the challenge of being a different option in university teaching. It took to working in areas that had been neglected, and to playing a role as an innovator in the development of new educational methods and evangelization of culture. It is now one of the most prestigious centers of university learning in Uruguay.
The UCU campus in Montevideo is made up of several buildings located in the residential neighborhood of La Blanqueada. The Sacré Cœur Building, located on 8 de Octubre Avenue, houses the university's headquarters. Built in 1920 to the design of architect Elzeario Boix, it is neoclassical in style and housed the Sacré Cœur Jesuit School for girls until the early 1980s.
The University also has two other campuses, one in the city of Punta del Este, located on Roosevelt Avenue and Florencia, inaugurated in 1998, and another in the city of Salto, located on Artigas Street and inaugurated in 2003, which houses the University's Economic Observatory.
The School of Business Sciences and the UCU Business School (UCUBS) have been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) since October 2021, making the University the only one in Uruguay with this certification. Since September 2023, the UCU Business School (UCUBS) has also been accredited by the International Accreditation Advisory Board of the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the Business Graduates Association (BGA).
As a fundamental objective of the University, it seeks that its students live beyond the classroom, incorporating extracurricular activities such as sports, with the Universidad Católica Club; artistic experiences such as the UCU Choir and the Espacio Crear; in addition to its traditional Pastoral.
