The Federal University of Rondônia was created on July 8, 1982 by Federal Law 7011. Its creation is part of the same process that led to the elevation of the then Federal Territory of Rondônia to the status of a State in December 1981. Initially, UNIR was implemented in the capital of Rondônia, Porto Velho, and incorporated the structure and courses then offered by Fundacentro (Fundação Centro de Ensino Superior de Rondônia): Administration, Accounting Sciences and Economic Sciences. From its founding, UNIR gradually became responsible for higher education courses that were offered in Rondônia by other Federal Universities. In 1983, he became responsible for the courses offered in Rondônia through an agreement between the State government and the Federal University of Pará (UFPA): History, Literature, Geography, Mathematics, Physical Education and Pedagogy. And in 1985, he assumed responsibility for the courses in Social Studies, Science, Literature and Arts Practice, which until then were offered by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFGRS) – which, during the 1970s, together with the Federal University do Acre (UFAC), maintained the offer of higher education courses in the then Federal territory of Rondônia. Initially operating in the center of Porto Velho, on Avenida Presidente Dutra, in February 1988 academic activities began to be held at the current central campus of UNIR, on BR-364, also in Porto Velho. After this expansion, there was the beginning of the process of interiorization of UNIR, which had campuses installed in the cities of Guajará-Mirim, Ji-Paraná, Cacoal, Rolim de Moura and Vilhena. And, in the 2000s, there was the installation of new campuses, this time in the cities of Ariquemes and Presidente Médici. With that, UNIR, the only University of Rondônia, whose mission is to offer public, free and quality Higher Education, has consolidated itself as a multi -campus institution present in all regions of the State, which currently offers five doctorates, 22 masters and 64 undergraduate courses.
