[edit] History and Background

The history of Umesp began in 1938, when the methodists created the Faculdade de Teologia da Igreja Metodista ("Theology College of the Methodist Church"), by the Anchieta highway, in São Bernardo do Campo.

As the city grew, so did the college, that now offered more graduation programs. In 1970, the IMS, Instituto Metodista de Ensino Superior ("Methodist Institute of Higher Education") was created and in 1997, the institution gained university status.

Today, over 18 thousand students go to Umesp. The university is known not only throughout the state of São Paulo, but in the entire country. Its most popular programs are in the areas of communications and theology.
