Its mutual cooperation includes academic exchange agreements and joint degree programs.

UCC offers a liberal education with philosophy, anthropology, ethics, and theology woven into various programs.

In 2006 UCC formally adopted an approach it calls University Social Responsibility (RSU), with not only civic engagement and community outreach activities but also social responsibility stressed in every aspect of the university, including its administration, teaching, and research.

The university further encourages students, teachers, and young professionals to volunteer for community service through its "Volunteers - Universidad Católica de Córdoba" program, working under the motto "We enter to learn, depart to serve."

The intended outcome is that graduates be not only good professionals but also critical, compassionate, and committed persons in a society increasingly torn by exclusion and injustice.
