The Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina ( Spanish : Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina "Santa María de los Buenos Ayres" ), UCA for short , is a university under papal law with its headquarters in Buenos Aires .
history
The UCA's predecessor, the Catholic University of Buenos Aires (1910–1922), was founded by the Argentine Bishops' Conference, but its diplomas were not recognized by the government. In 1922 the university was closed.
A decree in 1955 allowed the establishment of private universities with the right to issue degrees. In 1965, the bishops decided accordingly to found the Catholic University of Argentina, which officially happened on March 7, 1958.
