Daegu Catholic University (DCU; KoreanScript error: No such module "Lang".), previously named Catholic University of Daegu, is a private research university in Daegu, South Korea.

History

The St. Justin Seminary, from which the university claims descent, opened in Daegu on November 1, 1914, having been founded in May of that year. The first four rectors of the school were French missionaries, the first being a Fr. Chargeboeuf, also known by his Korean name Song Duck-mang (Script error: No such module "Lang".). The first Korean rector, Fr. Choi Min-sun (Script error: No such module "Lang".), who took up the post in 1945, was also the last rector of the seminary which closed the same year, sending most of its students home in May but remaining open until December to allow the final class of 4 to graduate.

In 1952, the Hyosung Women's Junior College (Script error: No such module "Lang".) was established, offering instruction to 150 students in the fields of music, literature, and home economics. The following year, it became a four-year college, also offering instruction in pharmacology. The college continued to expand steadily in the following years, establishing its graduate school in 1972 and gaining university status in 1980.
