- Pontifical Urbaniana University
The Pontifical Urbaniana University ( _la. Pontificia Universitas Urbaniana) is a pontifical university belonging to the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. The origins of the university date back to Pope Urban VIII with his papal bull "Immortalis Dei Filius". The Pontifical Urbaniana University was endowed with the title “Pontifical” with the motu proprio "Fidei Propagandae" of Pope John XXIII, on October 1, 1962. The university had about 1400 students in 2004.
The university, which is located on the Janiculum Hill in Rome, has four faculties: the faculty of Theology, the faculty of Philosophy, the faculty of Canon Law, and the faculty of Missology. The university's mission is to train priests, religious brothers and sisters, and lay people for service as missionaries. While the university is owned and operated by the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, whose Cardinal Prefect (currently Cardinal Ivan Dias) is "ex officio" the Chancellor of the university, as a seminary it is regulated by the Congregation for Catholic Education.
