UCE was founded at a time in which the Dominican Republic only counted with a handful of other universities nationwide, which included the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD), founded by Pope Paul III in 1538; the Catholic University Mother and Teacher (now Pontifical) founded in Santiago in 1962; and the National University Pedro Henríquez Ureña (UNPHU), founded in 1966.
The creation of UCE marked the beginning of an expansion period in Dominican higher education. During the 1970s, ten universities were inaugurated, UCE being the first of them. During the 1980s, a period during which UCE expanded across the country, ten other universities saw their beginnings. An initiative of Dr. José A. Hazim Azar, UCE was first conceived as a Regional Institution: there were no higher education campuses or institutions in the eastern region of the country. For its creation, Hazim counted on the cooperation of important personalities of San Pedro de Macorís, some of them members of the chamber of commerce of the province. Nowadays, UCE has expanded to include several campuses nationwide, largely due to public demand. In 1980, the first extension was built in the province of El Seybo. The campus of La Romana in 1982 followed, as did the extensions of San Juan de la Maguana, San Cristóbal, and Santo Domingo, in 1983. Later, on September 11, 1984, through the presidential Decree No. 2333, UCE was authorized to open ten more extensions in several communities across the nation: Barahona, Pedernales, Neyba, Duvergé, Elías Piña, Las Matas de Farfán, Dajabón, Monte Cristi, Bayaguana, and Monte Plata.
