Eastern Central University (Spanish: Universidad Central del Este; abbreviated as UCE) is a private university in the Dominican Republic, founded in San Pedro de Macorís on October 15, 1970, in the eastern region of the country.

For its creation, Hazim counted on the cooperation of important personalities of San Pedro de Macorís, some of them members of the chamber of commerce of the province.

Nowadays, UCE has expanded to include several campuses nationwide, largely due to public demand.
