The story
It was founded as a provincial university by Decree-Law 1644/58 on September 4, 1958. On April 12, 1973, de facto President Alejandro A. Lanusse signed Decree-Law 20275, which elevated the university to national status. This action was part of the same educational expansion program that established the universities of Comahue, Mar del Plata, Jujuy, Catamarca, Lomas de Zamora, Entre Ríos, Luján, Misiones, Salta, San Juan, San Luis, and Santiago del Estero.
