About the institution

Located in Salvador, Brazil, a colonial city in the northeastern part of the country, Unijorge is the largest private post-secondary institution in the State of Bahía. Founded 12 years ago, it serves around 20,000 students on its main campus (Paralela Avenue) and three branch campuses via face-to-face (Comércio & Plataforma) and distance learning mode of instruction also in other state (Curitiba/PR).

Unijorge provides undergraduate and graduate degrees as well as continuing education courses in fields including health care, education, technology, engineering, business and tourism, all accredited by the Ministry of Education. 15 percent of Unijorge’s students are enrolled in distance learning programs.

The institution has been recognized in a national survey for its quality of instruction in a distance learning modality by the Brazilian Association of Students in Distance Learning (ABE-EAD).

In 2006, Unijorge became a member of Whitney University System, an organization dedicated to expanding access to post-secondary education to Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking populations through collaborative relationships with Latin American universities.[2]

gollark: I just use entirely open-source software on my servers (except gameservers and probably some drivers), and don't have to deal with that sort of problem.

gollark: Measuring it in terms of frequency makes no sense, though. Modern CPUs change their frequency all the time in response to demand, for one thing.
gollark: Measuring CPU usage by *frequency* instead of % seems *really* weird to me.
gollark: They also don't need to run a new memory-eating kernel for every, er, container.
