The Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC) (Spanish: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile) is one of Chile's oldest universities and one of the most prestigious institutions in Latin America along with the University of Chile. It was founded June 21, 1888 through a decree issued by the Santiago Archbishop. Monsignor Joaquín Larraín Gandarillas was its first president. At the beginning, the university only taught two subjects: law and mathematics. However, it began to expand over the years to become what is now one of the country's most relevant higher education institutions, and a significant university in Latin America. It is also the owner of Canal 13.

[edit] History

PUC was founded on June 21, 1888, to offer training in traditional professions(law)and in technological and practical fields such as business, accounting, chemistry, and electricity. On February 11, 1930, Pope Pius XI declared it a Pontifical University, and in 1931 it was granted full academic autonomy by the Chilean government. It is a private, urban, multi-campus university. It is one of eleven Catholic universities, and one of 25 institutions within the Rectors' Council (Consejo de Rectores), the Chilean state-sponsored university system.

PUC's 18 faculties are distributed on four campuses in Santiago and one regional campus located in southern Chile. The technical training centers affiliated with the University are: DUOC, the Rural Life Foundations, the Baviera Foundation, the Catechetical Home and the San Fidel Seminary. These centers carry out technical-academic extension activities in rural and agricultural areas. Other UC activities are a Sports Club, a television network that broadcasts into all regions, and a Clinical Hospital dependent on the Faculty of Medicine.

PUC 's Graduates of the School of Architecture (probably one of the most prominent in Latin America) have also made important contributions to the country with such work as the Central Building of the UC, and the National Library.

Two of the most important students are the Jesuit Saint Alberto Hurtado and Eduardo Frei Montalva, the only Chilean President who graduated from PUC. Both of them studied in the School of Laws.

Upon the 100th anniversary of its foundation, the PUC continues to make every effort to develop its existing facilities and institutions, as well as to make its intellectual, creative, and spiritual capacity available to the community.
