Centro Universitário Unifafibe

Centro Universitário Unifafibe (commonly UNIFAFIBE) is a private higher-education institution based in Bebedouro, in the interior of São Paulo state, Brazil. It traces its origins to 1970, a date the institution itself marks: its official website states that in 2020 it celebrated 50 years of UNIFAFIBE, and in 2025 it celebrated 55 years. Over that half-century it grew from its founding roots into a multi-course university center, today offering on-campus undergraduate degrees, distance-learning (EAD) undergraduate degrees, on-campus and distance postgraduate programs, and extension courses. The institution presents itself as combining broad theoretical and practical training. Its campus infrastructure is substantial for a regional institution: the website cites more than 33,000 m² of built area, more than 100 classrooms, more than 70 laboratories, and a library holding some 74,000 volumes. Alongside teaching, UNIFAFIBE operates clinics and service units that support both student training and community outreach, including an aesthetics clinic, physiotherapy, psychology and nutrition clinics, and a legal nucleus (Núcleo Jurídico). It also runs extension and social programs such as UNIFAFIBE Cidadã, financial-education and public-health initiatives, and "O Direito ao Alcance de Todos." UNIFAFIBE is also active as an academic publisher. Its website lists a long roster of journals hosted through the SEER system, including Hispeci & Lema (and its online edition), Revista Direitos Sociais e Políticas Públicas, Fafibe On-line, Revista de Inovação, Tecnologia e Sustentabilidade na Engenharia Elétrica, Revista de Engenharia Civil e Tecnologia, Psicologia: Saberes & Práticas, Science and Technology Innovation in Agronomy, Produção em Destaque, CIENFISIO, Cadernos de Educação: Ensino e Sociedade, Revista de Educação Física, Executive On-Line, Biologia Fafibe, EPeQ Fafibe, Ciências Nutricionais Online, Enfermagem em Evidência, Revista Jurídica Fafibe, Revista Letras Fafibe and others. This publishing activity is the basis for its classification as an academic publisher. The institution maintains a public-facing web presence with news, a vocational test, information on courses, certificates, academic activities, selection processes and institutional governance pages. It is a private institution; no parent company or listed status is indicated in the available evidence. Its brand is closely tied to its regional identity in Bebedouro and the surrounding interior of São Paulo, where it serves as a local hub for undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education across health, law, education, engineering, agronomy and business fields.

Centro Universitário Unifafibe dates its history to 1970. The institution's own website marks this origin: it states that in 2020 it celebrated 50 years of UNIFAFIBE, and in 2025 it celebrated 55 years. This places its founding in the early 1970s, in Bebedouro, a municipality in the interior of São Paulo state, Brazil. The institution's earlier identity is reflected in the "Fafibe" name that survives in several of its publications and units, such as Fafibe On-line, Biologia Fafibe, EPeQ Fafibe, Revista Jurídica Fafibe and Revista Letras Fafibe. Over the decades it expanded from its initial teaching activity into a broader university center offering multiple fields of study. Its current course portfolio spans on-campus undergraduate degrees, distance-learning (EAD) undergraduate degrees, on-campus and distance postgraduate programs, and extension courses. By the 2020s the institution had built substantial physical infrastructure. Its website reports more than 33,000 m² of built area, more than 100 classrooms, more than 70 laboratories, and a library with approximately 74,000 volumes. It also operates a set of clinics and service units — an aesthetics clinic, physiotherapy, psychology and nutrition clinics, and a legal nucleus — that support practical training and community service. UNIFAFIBE has developed a significant academic publishing arm. Its publications page lists numerous journals hosted through the SEER system, covering fields such as education, law, health, engineering, agronomy, biology, psychology, nutrition, nursing, physical education and business. Titles include Hispeci & Lema (and its online edition), Revista Direitos Sociais e Políticas Públicas, Fafibe On-line, Revista de Inovação, Tecnologia e Sustentabilidade na Engenharia Elétrica, Revista de Engenharia Civil e Tecnologia, Psicologia: Saberes & Práticas, Science and Technology Innovation in Agronomy, Produção em Destaque, CIENFISIO, Cadernos de Educação: Ensino e Sociedade, Revista de Educação Física, Executive On-Line, Biologia Fafibe, EPeQ Fafibe, Ciências Nutricionais Online, Enfermagem em Evidência, Revista Jurídica Fafibe and Revista Letras Fafibe. This publishing activity is central to its identity as an academic publisher as well as a teaching institution. Alongside teaching and publishing, the institution runs extension and social programs, including UNIFAFIBE Cidadã, financial education, public health initiatives, and "O Direito ao Alcance de Todos." It maintains a public website with news, a vocational test, information on courses, certificates, academic activities, selection processes and institutional governance pages. The available evidence does not identify a parent company, owner or listed status; the institution presents itself as a private university center rooted in its region.
