The Federal University of Mato Grosso (Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, UFMT) was created in 1970. Located in the capital city of Cuiabá, it serves the entire state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Teaching, research and extension programs are concentrated in 12 graduate programs, 63 undergraduate courses and a variable number of diploma courses in life, social and exact sciences. Nearly 20,000 students are formally enrolled. Its Medicine Faculty got, in 2007, the best average grade among Brazilian Medicine schools in the ENADE (National Students Exam).
Famous quotes containing the word federal:
“There are always those who are willing to surrender local self-government and turn over their affairs to some national authority in exchange for a payment of money out of the Federal Treasury. Whenever they find some abuse needs correction in their neighborhood, instead of applying the remedy themselves they seek to have a tribunal sent on from Washington to discharge their duties for them, regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
