Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (English: Pontifical Catholic University Madre y Maestra) or PUCMM is a private, coeducational Roman Catholic university in the Dominican Republic. The university grants undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and professional degrees. It has three campuses: one in Santiago de los Caballeros, another in Santo Domingo and an extension in Puerto Plata.[1][2]

History

[edit]
The water tower on the campus of Santiago has become a symbol of the university.

The university is named after Pope John XXIII's encyclical Mater et Magistra,[2][3] meaning mother and teacher in Latin. At first, PUCMM offered faculties in law, education, and philosophy. Its recognition by the Dominican government came through Law 6150 on 31 December 1962.[4][1][5] In 1991, the institution was delegated with the responsibility for country domain registration.

Rankings

[edit]

PUCMM made the list of Quacquarelli Symonds' top Latin American universities in 2012.[6] It was ranked #1201-1400 globally in 2025 QS World University Rankings[7] and #161-170 out of the top 250 universities in Latin America and 5th on the Caribbean.[8] In 2023, the university received a ranking of two Palmes, representing a good business school with a regional influence.[9]
