PONTIFICAL CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO (PUC-RIO)
WELCOME TO PUC-RIO
HISTORY AND PUC-Rio was the first private higher education MISSION institution in the country, created by the Catholic Church. It was founded in 1940 by Cardinal D. Sebastião Leme and Father Leonel Franca, S.J., and in 1946 it acquired the status of university. The title of Pontifical was conferred in 1947 — a rare honor conceded by the Vatican establishing a special link between this university and the Pope. In 1955, the institution moved to the present campus.
HISTORY AND MISSION Beyond providing education, PUC-Rio undertook the task of assisting the community, based on Christian ethical values, solidarity and human respect. It represents a space for achievement, overcoming challenges and development of its students. The university operates under the supervision of the Society of Jesus and under the supreme authority of the Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro as its Grand Chancellor. PUC-Rio is a non-profit philanthropic institution, a communitarian university. It is thus a Catholic university based on Christian humanistic principles.
HISTORY AND It welcomes students, staff members, teachers, MISSION researchers and administrators of all religions, nationalities, ethnic groups and social classes. The referential starting-point of PUC-Rio is the complete development of the human being in two main perspectives: the philosophical and the theological. Besides that, it is a research oriented institution that focuses primarily in the development of academic and scientific knowledge. PUC-Rio is, above all, a community of people, professors, students and staff members united by a common interest in seeking the truth and acting in accordance with the needs of the society and with the ever changing world around us.
HISTORY AND In 1991, the International Programs Office was MISSION • created. Now it is called Central Coordination for International Cooperation (CCCI). In 2014, PUC-Rio granted the status of a public • non-state institution — a communitarian university. Today PUC-Rio has Master and PhD degrees in all • departments, except for Biology. The first computer science center in a Brazilian • university — the Rio Datacentro (RDC) — was created in 1972.
