Universidad del Azuay (UDA) is an Ecuadorian university situated in the Province of Azuay, with its campus in the city of Cuenca.

The university was founded in 1968 as part of the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil in the city of Cuenca under the name of the "Institute of Philosophy and Educational Sciences". It was authorized by the Holy See on May, 1969.[1] [2] [3]

The Institute began its activities in the 1968-1969 academic year, the founding professors were Francisco Olmedo Llorente, Claudio Malo González, Carlos Pérez Agustí, Rafael Galiana, José Castelví Queralt and Nelson Yánez Ortega.[4] [5] The first cohort had around sixty students, but not all of them graduated. [6]

The priest Agustín López Canessa became the first director of the Institute, he was delegated by the Archbishop of Cuenca. [7]

On December 1970, the School of Accounting was founded and the Institud was renamed as Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil in Cuenca. Claudio Malo González was named as Academic Director. [8]

Later, the two academic departments of the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil in Cuenca (the Institute of Philosophy and Educational Sciences and the School of Accounting) requested their annexation to the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, which took place on November, 1976, which led the academic units to become the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Education Sciences and the Faculty of Accounting and Administration Sciences, respectively. [9]

In 1990, after meeting all the legal requirements, it was renamed as Universidad del Azuay, being its current name. Nowadays, the University has incorporated six Faculties and more than 20 careers.[10]
