Created under Federal Law No. 5,540 of November 28, 1968, and organized according to a project prepared by the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies for the Public Sector (ISP) linked to the Federal University of Bahia, FUFS (as it was initially called) has its structural plan based on the two basic principles of the University Reform – non-duplication of resources for identical or equivalent purposes and the inseparability of teaching, research and extension – choosing, among the alternatives for structural integration offered by the Law, the one that operates based on the articulation between departments and Higher Administration, eliminating the possibility of administrative coordination at an intermediate level (colleges, institutes or centers). Once authorized, the University was solemnly installed on May 31, 1976, with the following list of courses: 1st and 2nd degree Bachelor’s Degree in Languages ​​– English/French; Full Degree in Sciences, with specialization in Mathematics and Biology and in 1st degree Sciences; Full Degree in Social Studies, with specialization in Moral and Civic Education and in 1st degree Social Studies; and courses in Nursing, Operations Engineering – Civil Construction Modality, Administration, Economics and Accounting Sciences.
