The history of UCA started in Buenos Aires,Argentina with a catholic university that was created in 1910 but it used to have some problems and at the end it had to close.

In 1922 some graduate students started some courses of catholic culture.Some years later the argentine bishops' episcopate took this experience of the courses and in discussions about the superior education and the universities of private administration. The argentine bishops' episcopate decided and helped with the creation of UCA university in february of the year 1956 because Religion used to be the more important in that age in Argentina's society and also they had the power. And in march seventh of 1958 it was declared officially founded by them.Throughout the entire time it has existed, it has had different principals and it was used to have as principals monsignors
