The University Centre of Economic and Managerial Sciences (Spanish: Centro Universitario de Ciencias Económico-Administrativas) often abbreviated as CUCEA is the division of the University of Guadalajara where higher education related to Economics, Management and complementary sciences in the relevant fields is provided. The centre has 19 buildings, 169 classrooms for regular lessons, 16 classrooms for PhD programmes and 4 fully equipped auditoriums that altogether can hold more than 900 people.

It also has a "governmental and decision making room" where the academical body gathers and a seminary room, both are equipped to receive and broadcast videoconferences from and to any part of the world, given that they have optic fiber connection to the administrative building of the Universidad de Guadalajara. The CUCEA has 9 investigation centres that link the university with Jalisco's society.

Often credited by the Universidad de Guadalajara students and teachers as being the best centre campus-wise, it also has a high academical level. Even though the claim of being "The best Universidad de Guadalajara Centre" might be disputed on different grounds, it is a fact that the university enjoys a well-deserved prestige. The campus has 2 auditoriums, a cyber-garden where the students can connect their laptops to the internet for free, that area has capacity for 180 people. WiFi coverage is also available in selected areas.

The CUCEA is the Universidad de Guadalajara's centre with the most students, approximately 14,100 regular students and 1,063 studying in PhD programmes. CUCEA employs 800 teachers and 295 people that manage the centre's services.

In late 2006 the construction of new classrooms in the western part of the campus, and refurbishments of both the parking lot and the pedestrian entrance, were underway. The university also hosts the Centre for Marketing and Opinion Surveys (Spanish: Centro de Estudios de Opinión y Mercadotecnia, CEO), the Universidad de Guadalajara's Centre for carrying out an array of surveys for distinct purposes, both for the University and its private clients.
