The University of San Carlos is a Roman Catholic university governed by the Society of the Divine Word
since 1935 in Cebu City. It is one of the oldest catholic schools in Asia. It offers pre-elementary and basic
education as well as undergraduate and graduate courses, and a broad spectrum of academic programs
through its eight colleges.
It consists of four campuses in different areas of Metro Cebu – the Main Campus along P. del Rosario St., the
Talamban Campus (a.k.a TC – Technological Center) along Gov. M. Cuenco Ave., the North Campus
(formerly the Boys High) along Gen. Maxilom Ave., and the South Campus (formerly the Girls High) along
corners J. Alcantara St. (P. del Rosario Ext.) and V. Rama Avenue.
University of San Carlos' claim to being the oldest school in Asia, however, is disputed
