FOUNDED 1947

Founded in 1947 by the Order of Augustinian Recollects, then Colegio de San Jose-Recoletos developed from a small institution of learning into one of the excellent schools in the country. From classes held in a portion of a convent, the University built modern structures yet retaining its classic features.
