The oldest city in the Philippines is Cebu City, the site of the earliest European settlement in the country established by the first Spanish Governor General and Spanish conqueror Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in 1565. It was also here that the oldest school in the country emerged — the University of San Carlos (USC).

August 1, 1595 -- USC was formerly known as the Colegio de San Ildefonso, a grammar school founded by Society of Jesus

1769 - The Colegio was closed upon the expulsion of the Jesuits


1779 - The School was reopened when the diocese of Cebu turned it into a seminary, established by Bishop Mateo Joaquin de Arevalo with the name Seminario de San Carlos.

Martin Luther is the leading Protestant Reformer, Monk, Teacher, family man, one of the most significant figures in history and Germany's greatest theologian and Biblical scholar. (1517)

San Carlos Borromeo -Apostle of the Council of TrentThe Council of Trent was a series of three meetings. The Council of Trent set out new standards for the Catholic Church.. 1545-1564

Colegio-Seminario de San Carlos was located along San Jose dela Montaña street under the Dominican Fathers

San Carlos Seminary’s name was changed to Conciliar de San Carlos (based on the program of the Council of Trent) under the Vincentians Father and started accepting others seeking advanced education. 1867

In 1930, the Colegio de San Carlos (CSC) was transferred to the new P. del Rosario building, while the Seminario de San Carlos remained in Martires Street, Mabolo

Five years after, the Colegio was turned over

to the Society of the Divine Word (SVD –

Societas Verbi Divini), which managed the school

for 70 years now.

The Second World War saw the closure and occupation of CSC by Japanese troops. And shortly before Liberation, in 1944, bombs from US planes fell on San Carlos, almost reducing the school to rubbles. San Carlos became a university in 1948, three years after it reopened.

University of San Carlos at present.
