Why the Catholic University in Río Cuarto
The city of Río Cuarto is recognized for its development in different areas such as science, industry, agriculture and is a major commercial center in the south of Córdoba. The city has experienced significant growth in these areas, but also in economic and educational areas.
It has a large flow of students since many young people from the town and the interior choose “the Empire of the South” to begin their studies, mostly in careers oriented towards agriculture.
The arrival of the UCC not only guarantees the education of young people but also promotes urban growth and looks towards the future of the city in an optimistic way that drives development. It is important to keep in mind that it will also generate employment in education, administration or other services that will benefit local professionals and technicians. It’s a positive nod to the city’s progress.
Furthermore, it is of great importance for the society of Río Cuarto and for a wide region that includes San Luis, La Pampa, Santa Fe and Mendoza due to its proximity to the city. The young people of these sectors are the future professionals of our country and their access to a high quality education is of utmost importance for the development of a large area of influence such as the places already mentioned.

They will also have the opportunity to opt for an education that integrates ethical, academic and social aspects.
