Catholic University of the Most Holy Conception

The Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción, translated into English as "Catholic University of the Most Immaculate Conception",[1] is a private catholic university in Chile.

The Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción was founded on July 10, 1991, by ordinance of the bishop of the Archdiocese of the Santísima Concepción, Monsignor Antonio Moreno Casamitjana.

The regional branch campus of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Talcahuano provided the foundation for the new university.

The university is a legally autonomous, partially state-supported, private entity.

The Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción consists of seven faculties (Law, Science, Education, Engineering, Medicine, Business Management and Communications, History and Social Sciences), an Institute of Theology, and a Technological Institute, with undergraduate and graduate-level courses.
