History
Atlantic University College is a for-profit institution and is located in the heart of Guaynabo, facing the city's central plaza.
It is the first university founded in Guaynabo and is located in the city's historical district, which preserves the distinctive Spanish colonial-style architecture that characterized Puerto Rico's towns and cities in earlier times.
Atlantic University College was founded in response to Guaynabo's need for a local institution of higher education, as well as the growing demand for digital arts expertise in the commercial sector.
AUC's core programs were first offered in 1983 and now include a growing range of bachelor's and master's degree programs.

nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
