Born in 1940 in the city of Mogi das Cruzes, the Braz Cubas, which started its activities with a small preparatory course, now has about 20,000 students, between classroom and distance education modalities.
Over the 75 years in the market, the institution has undergone several transformations, housing, including gym courses, mid-level, trade, until it reached the Faculty of Law in 1965. Higher education, stimulated by education policy, has grown throughout the country and the Braz Cubas, meeting the requirements and needs of the market, continued to grow, both in physical space and social, until in 1985 the Federal Council of Education recognizes the then Federation of Colleges Braz Cubas as a university.
