A Legacy of Growth and Transformation

UC started as the Cebu College of Commerce (CCC) in 1964, founded by Atty. Augusto W. Go. With an initial enrollment of 239 students and a humble offering of courses in Commerce and Secretarial Science, CCC grew steadily, later becoming Cebu Central Colleges in 1972.

The institution flourished over the years, introducing diverse courses, earning accreditations, and eventually transforming into the University of Cebu. Today, UC has been awarded Deregulated status by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and recognized by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) for its numerous accredited programs.
