The University of San Jose–Recoletos, formerly known as Colegio de San Jose–Recoletos, is a private research and Catholic university founded in 1947 in Cebu City, Philippines, by order of Augustinian Recollects. From classes held in an old building and a portion of the convent, the school built modern structures while retaining classic features. The university has three campuses, two of which are located in different areas of Metro Cebu – the main campus along with Corner P. Lopez and Magallanes Sts. and the Basak Campus at Cebu South Road, Basak Pardo, Cebu City. Its third campus, the newly built Balamban Campus, is located in April, a barangay in the Municipality of Balamban.
