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:
“Goodbye, boys; I’m under arrest. I may have to go to jail. I may not see you for a long time. Keep up the fight! Don’t surrender! Pay no attention to the injunction machine at Parkersburg. The Federal judge is a scab anyhow. While you starve he plays golf. While you serve humanity, he serves injunctions for the money powers.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
