The story

The university’s doors were opened in 1995, and the teaching activities began in 1996. After six years of activity, the university was reviewed by the National University Assessment and Accreditation Commission (CONEAU). In 2005, the university was granted full authorization as a university through Decree No. 1082/05, issued by the Executive Power.

In 2023, UAI received an institutional accreditation from HCÉRES, the French quality assurance body, which makes it the first South American university to achieve such accreditation.
