History

UEPG was created by the State Government through the Law 6.034, November 6, 1969, and Decree no 18.111, January 28, 1970, which resulted in the incorporation of the already existing faculties that were working independently, such as the State College of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ponta Grossa, the State College of Pharmacy and Dentistry of Ponta Grossa, the State College of Law of Ponta Grossa and the State College of Economic Sciences and Administration of Ponta Grossa.

The university is also known in Brazil as a center of excellence in Journalism (area in which UEPG is considered to be among the top ten in the country).[1]
