In 1964, the school started with only one Department, which was Nursing, but our university has grown remarkably over the past 50 years and has expanded to include five colleges and 19 departments. Since the establishment of the Catholic University of Pusan in 1964,
University is founded and operated by the Catholic Diocese of Busan to produce leaders contributing to humanity's salvation. The goal of the establishment of our university differs from other universities. Unlike the others, our university students will advance in society with the lesson of love and service obtained through the courses.
University has provided the nation with high-quality professionals skilled in nursing and healthcare. We have also fostered professionals in the field of environment, IT, management, and social work, essential in maintaining modern society. Besides, we have also trained Catholic priests who pursue the salvation of humanity through the Catholic belief.
Recently, a reduction in the student population is pushing many universities to the wall. There will be situations whereby universities would randomly admit students, including those who are not capable of. So our school has to agonize about which student is outstanding and which student we can admit. Most universities use examination scores as a criterion to determine students, but CUP will produce students who are suitable for a society without looking only at the scores. University has an exceptional university vision in order to satisfy the demand of society. It is called CUP Action Plan. Based on the CUP Action Plan, the necessary foundations for advancement was to complete by 2014. University has achieved this plan over 100%.
The years from 2015 to 2019 will mark the start of the second stage in our CUP Action Plan to be a community leader. 'Raphael Senior Daycare Center,' 'Speech and Hearing Clinical Center' and 'Busan Metropolitan Hospice Palliative Center' contribute to producing competent people to which the community is looking forward. Interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary fusion will be one of the forces to train talented intellectuals.
Educational Goals of University is to improve the ability to meet the changing world wisely, by exploring all fields of academic and applied studies, to nurture positive values and practical abilities of the love and respect of people and nature, to To nurture positive values and practical abilities of the love and respect of people and nature.
