It was incorporated legally as a non-profit institution by means of Presidential Decree no. 2389 on June 15, 1972. Its original academic activities included post-graduate programs, permanent education, and scientific research. In 1973 the university integrated other fields of study into its curriculum. Its current curricular structure is based on the quarterly system, offering academic programs in Engineering, Business Administration, the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Medicine.
