Central University of Venezuela

The Central University of Venezuela (or Universi-

dad Central de Venezuela, UCV, in Spanish) is a pre-
mier public University of Venezuela located in Caracas.
Founded in 1721, it is the oldest university in Venezuela
and one of the oldest in the Western Hemisphere .
The main university campus, Ciudad Universitaria de
Caracas, was designed by architect Carlos Ral Vil-
lanueva and it is considered a masterpiece of urban plan-
ning and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
in 2000.
1 History
1.1 Origins
The origin of the university goes back to Friar Antonio
Gonzlez de Acua (16201682), a Peruvian Bishop who
studied theology at the Universidad de San Marcos and
founded in 1673 the Seminary Saint Rose of Lima in
Caracas named after the rst Catholic Saint born in the
Americas. In the following years Friar Diego de Baos y
Sotomayor broadened the scope of the seminary by cre-
ating the School and Seminary of Saint Rose of Lima
in 1696. Yet, in spite of the creation of the seminar,
students who wished to obtain a university degree had
to travel great distances to attend universities located in
Santo Domingo, Bogot or Mexico City. Given such
harsh circumstances, the Rector of the Seminary, Fran-
cisco Martnez de Porras and the people of Caracas re-
quested the royal court in Madrid the creation of a uni-
versity in Venezuela (then part of the Viceroyalty of New
Granada). As a result, on 22 December 1721 Philip V of
Spain signed in Lerma a Royal Decree that transformed
the School-Seminary into the Universidad Real y Ponti-
cia de Caracas. The Royal Decree was concurred by
Pope Innocent XIII with a Papal bull in 1722. The univer-
sity oered degrees in Philosophy, Theology, Canon law
and Medicine. Until 1810, when the Seminary of Saint
Bonaventura located in Mrida became the Universidad
de Los Andes, the Universidad Real y Ponticia de Cara-
cas was the only university existing in the country.
1.2 Republican years
Until the end of the 18th century, the ocial papal
and royal censorship on books was largely ignored in
Venezuela, a situation which allowed the smuggling of
The old campus in 1911. The building also served as the loca-
tion for the National Library when it was founded in 1833. It
is currently known as the Palacio de las Academias which is
Spanish for Palace of Academies
the works by Rousseau, Voltaire, Diderot, Montesquieu,
Locke, Helvetius, Grotius in the ships belonging to the
Guipuzcoana Company.
The Royal constitution was displaced by the Republican
Statutes proclaimed by Simn Bolvar on 24 June 1827.
The new statutes gave the institution a secular character
and transferred the main authority to the Rector.
1.3 20th century
Central Library and Aula Magna
On December 1908, Juan Vicente Gmez came into
power with a coup d'tat against the government of
Cipriano Castro. Gmez stayed in power until his death in
1935, and during this time the Dictator, having ambiva-
lent feelings about the purpose of educating free minds

Ciudad Universitaria from the library
Central Library
when he could hire foreigners to exercise any technical
requirements for the nation, decided to close the univer-
sity from 1912 to 1922. When it reopened, the Rector
Felipe Guevara Rojas had reorganized the traditional di-
vision of only a few Schools and separated them into De-
partments.
1928 became a very important year for the University
when a group of students, known as the Generation
of 1928, organized events during the Students Week
protesting the Dictatorship which culminated in an at-
tempt to overthrow Gmez on 7 April of that year. This
group, which shared a common front against Gmez, was
conformed by people like Rmulo Betancourt, Miguel
Otero Silva, Juan Oropeza, Isaac Pardo and Rodolfo
Quintero. Most of them were jailed after the events or
went into exile without being able to nish their studies.
The university continued to be at the forefront of the de-
mocratization of the country when in 1936, then Presi-
dent Eleazar Lpez Contreras, ordered a decree suspend-
ing the Constitutional rights and declaring a general cen-
sorship of the press because the oil workers decided to
start a strike (an unprecedented deed at the time). The
Rector of the University, Francisco Antonio Rsquez, led
the protest that followed through the streets of Caracas
against the policies of Lpez Contreras.
By 1942, the student population had been growing
steadily for decades without any signicant expansion of
the University. Instead several Schools, like Medicine,
were moved to other buildings around the city. The
administration of President Isaas Medina Angarita felt
the need to move the university to a larger and more mod-
ern location where it could function as coherent whole.
The government bought the Hacienda Ibarra and the re-
sponsibility of the main design was given to the architect
Carlos Ral Villanueva after a visit to the University City
of Bogot convinced the authorities of the Ministry of
Public Works that, in order to avoid constructing a group
of heterogeneous buildings, the design should be under
one architect.
The new campus was going to become a vast urban com-
plex of about 200 hectares and included 40 buildings.
Villanueva worked with 28 avant-garde artists of the time,
from Venezuela and the rest of the world, to build what
continues to be one of the most successful applications
of Modern Architecture in Latin America. Villanuevas
guiding principle was the creation of a space where art
and architecture cohabited in harmony in a Synthesis
of Arts. Among some of the most important pieces
present in the University are the Floating Clouds by
Alexander Calder, murals by Victor Vasarely, Wifredo
Lam, Fernand Lger and sculptures by Jean Arp and
Henri Laurens. The Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas was
declared World Heritage by UNESCO, and it is the only
modern University campus designed by a single architect
to receive such high honor.
Floating Clouds by Alexander Calder in the Aula Magna
In 1958, after the fall of dictator Marcos Prez Jimnez,
a government commission established a new law for the
universities. The new law came into place on 5th Decem-
ber, guaranteeing that faculty and students could work in
an environment of freedom and tolerance. This very im-
portant legal foundation was however abused during the
1960s when guerrilla rebels, supported by Fidel Castro
took refuge inside the university campus to escape pros-
ecution from the government. This tense situation came
3
to a stalemate in 1969 when students asking for a reform
took over the university. On 3 October 1970, the admin-
istration of President Rafael Caldera ordered the univer-
sity to be raided by the military and Rector Jess Mara
Bianco was forced to resign. The university reopened in
1971 with a new Rector and a new plan for renovation.
In terms of the academic development of the modern
university, the second half of the 20th century was a
time when the Central Universitys faculty body bene-
ted greatly from the inux of European immigrants.
Many intellectuals settled in Venezuela after the end of
the Spanish Civil War and World War II and found jobs
at the University. Those scientists and humanists helped
develop lines of research and teaching at the university
and educated many of the present generation of faculty
members.
2 Organization and degrees
The university is organized into 11 schools (Facultades)
which are subdivided into 40 departments (Escuelas).
All schools oer undergraduate degrees at the level of
Licenciatura (5 years) and graduate degrees at the level
of Masters degree (2 years) and PhD (34 years) from
the Graduate School.

in 1941, oers 222 dierent specializations, 109 Mas-
