Then, in 1989 Forest engineering and Agronomy were included in the academical offer, being the first private university in giving those degrees. Lately in 1991, Veterinary medicine was added, and six years later Dentistry. In 1998, the opening of the Medical School, consecrated the university as a pioneer institution for the scientific-technological formation. Further in time, more health area careers were open like Kinesiology and Speech-language pathology.
