The Catholic University of Congo Is a private Catholic university renowned for its excellence, dynamism, exceptional quality of the courses offered to its students and the relevance of its program of studies. Created in 1987 by the Episcopal Conference of Zaire, under the transformed name of the Faculty of Catholic Theology of Kinshasa to the Catholic Faculties of Kinshasa (FCK). The institution thus counted two faculties: the Faculty of Theology and that of Philosophy. In July 1989, the Standing Committee of Bishops decided to create a third faculty, the Faculty of Economics and Development, which was named after the academic year 2000-2001. It also decided during the same session of July 1989 to organize within the Faculty of Theology a department of Canon Law. In June 1991, the Standing Committee of Bishops decided to create a fourth faculty: the Faculty of Social Communications, which officially opened in October 1993.
