The story

Civitas University traces its roots back to 1997 when it was established through the initiative of a group of scientists from the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) under the name Collegium Civitas. Professors from five institutes of PAN — Political Studies, Philosophy and Sociology, History, History of Art, and Slavic Studies — pooled their expertise and knowledge to establish Civitas University. Since its inception, Civitas University has been providing higher education to both Polish and international students. Civitas University was the first non-public university in Poland to welcome foreign students in 1997.

As of 2024, the Rector is Professor Stanisław Mocek, the President is Professor Jadwiga Koralewicz, and the Chancellor is Roma Równiak. In April 2025, Civitas was granted university status, and the previous name (Collegium Civitas) was replaced with a new one (Civitas University) to reflect the university's new status.
