History
University of San Carlos' claim to being the oldest university in Asia, however, is disputed. Historians point out that it cannot trace its origin to the Colegio de San Ildefonso because this school (a grammar school as described by Fr. Ernesto M. Lagura, SVD, president of the University of San Carlos during the Centennial Congress on Higher Education held on May 28-29, 1998) was shut down in 1769 with the expulsion of the Jesuits. In 1783, the Colegio-Seminario de San Carlos opened under new owners. [4] The Pontifical University of Santo Tomas in Manila has been in existence since 1611 and was interrupted only by World War II. It was elevated to university status in 1645.
The college-seminary of San Carlos became University of San Carlos in 1948. The university is chaired by the Father Dionisio Miranda. The board of directors (Board of Trustees) is chaired by Jesus N. Alcordo.
