University Extension

 

By integrating research and teaching, the extension activities located in the interior of the State meet their social obligations by using the institution as an important tool in the articulation of regional development strategies.

Local programs and projects can count on the institution’s support as well as programs that have been developed in cooperation with the State’s Secretariats. By maintaining a permanent dialogue with the community, the University takes on the challenge of academic reconstruction through social extension as well as the inclusion of the social aspect of knowledge in its curriculum.
