History

IESB

On 13 April 1998, Centro Universitàrio IESB (English: CESB, the Center of Higher Education of Brasilia) was founded, aiming to be an institution that developed education, research and extension activities of a higher level. After four years, the Ministry of Education authorized the two first undergraduate courses: Education Science and Administration, with concentrations in Science and Technology Policy and Management and Human Resources. In 1998, two more courses were authorized: Legal Sciences and Social Communication, with concentrations in Journalism, Advertising and Marketing. Other courses created in 1999 and IESB moved to another campus in L2 Norte, Quadra 609. In 2013, IESB took part in Pronatec, a program of the Ministry of Education (Brazil). This way they enrolled about 3000 students for a quicker formation in technical courses.

gollark: People have looked into it. It apparently exists. I'm not sure what you want them to do.
gollark: There are a bunch of worrying weird neurological ones.
gollark: But they could just add s and it would be fine.
gollark: As an arbitrary aside, why does everyone say "the vaccine" when there are in fact multiple different vaccines?
