Centro Escolar University (Filipino: Pamantasang Centro Escolar; Spanish: Universidad Centro Escolar), commonly referred to as CEU, is a private, non-sectarian, coeducational institution of higher education located in Manila, Philippines. Founded in 1907 by Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna,[1][2] CEU is recognized as one of the oldest modern universities in the Philippines. It operates six campuses, including its main campus in San Miguel, Manila, with additional campuses in Malolos, Las Piñas, Cebu City, and two in Makati (Gil Puyat and Legaspi).[2][3][1] CEU offers more than fifty academic programs and is actively involved in research across a range of disciplines.[4]

CEU is accredited by the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines and the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities' Commission on Accreditation (Level IV, the highest level), and has full autonomous status from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).[1][5][6][7] It is certified by the Institute of Corporate Directors, the Department of Trade and Industry, SGS S.A., Arthram International Organization for Standardization, and the ASEAN University Network.[5][1][6] In 2006, CEU won the Papal Award Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice.[1] In 2022, CEU was awarded with the Safety Seal from the Department of the Interior and Local Government.[8]
