The Autonomous University of Sinaloa (Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa or UAS) is a public university with its central campus located in the state capital of Culiacán, Sinaloa and with campuses in multiple locations within the state. The university is ranked in the top 25 universities of Mexico.[2][3]
UAS was founded on 5 May 1873 in Mazatlán and at the time called Liceo Rosales.[4] The school transferred to Culiacán in 1874 due to political reasons and its name changed to Colegio Rosales.[5] Towards the end of the Mexican Revolution, in 1918 it received "autonomy status" and re-named as the Universidad de Occidente. In 1965, it was re-named to its present name.[5]
The university serves some 160,000 students on its own at high school, undergraduate and postgraduate level. UAS is divided into 4 Regional Units within the state of Sinaloa and has 4 main campuses in Culiacán, Guamúchil, Los Mochis and Mazatlán as well as several satellite campuses throughout the state.[6]
Liceo Rosales (named after the former Governor of Sinaloa Antonio Rosales) was founded on 5 May 1873 in Mazatlán and was designed to teach professional careers such as engineering, law, accounting, chemistry and teaching degrees. A year later, in 1874 the school was transferred to the newly appointed state capital of Culiacán and re-named Colegio Rosales. Towards the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1918, the Governor of the state of Sinaloa, Ramón F. Iturbe, was in favor of granting the university more autonomy to administer and decide its own academic programs and the school was re-named to Universidad de Occidente, however, in 1922 the schools was changed to Colegio Civil Rosales.[5]
In 1937, under the influence of then Mexican President Lázaro Cárdenas, the school was re-named Universidad Socialista del Noroeste (Socialist University of the Northwest) as a promoter and supporter of the social reforms taking place in that time period. In 1941, the school was re-named the University of Sinaloa and in 1965, the university re-gained and developed its autonomy status. Since then, the school's name was changed to its current name of Autonomous University of Sinaloa (Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa).[5][7]
