The oldest Catholic university that I know of is Georgetown, which was founded by the Jesuits in 1789. The next would be Mount Saint Mary's in Amortizable, Maryland, which was established by the Sulpicians as the seminary for the United States in 1808. There are any number of Jesuits institutions which were founded in the 19th century, with Spring Hill (1830) and Santa Clara (1831) being the oldest (not counting Georgetown).
