History edit

Founded in October 20, 1910, by then president of the republic Nilo Peçanha, the College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (Portuguese: Escola Superior de Agronomia e Medicina Veterinária, ESAMV) laid the foundations of agricultural education in Brazil, and began operating in 1913. In 1934, the ESAMV was split into three institutions: the National School of Agriculture, National School of Veterinary Medicine and the National School of Chemistry (incorporated in 1937 by the University of Brazil, later renamed the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro). These institutions have been crucial to overcoming the fragmentary and differentiated knowledge from existing agricultural and veterinary education throughout the nineteenth century and in creating an science-based, academic reference space. In 1944, the schools of agriculture and veterinary medicine were brought together as the Rural University, later renamed the Rural University of Brazil as more programs in rural fields (eg, forestry) were introduced.[2]

The current name dates from 1965, and UFFRJ remains under the federal Ministry of Education.

The university also operates a technical vocational school, offering specialized courses in agriculture, hospitality and the environment, as well as high school courses. Called CTUR, it is located on the main campus in Seropédica.

Smaller campuses are located in Nova Iguaçu and Três Rios.
