Historical context

The Faculty of Human and Social Sciences (A Faculdade de Ciências Humanas e Sociais) (AGES) is a Higher Education Institution, a pioneer in the northeast of Bahia and in the south-central region of Sergipe, located in the semiarid region of Northeast Brazil, in the so-called Polígono das Secas, with headquarters in the municipality of Paripiranga, State of Bahia, approximately 340 km from Salvador (BA) and 110 km from Aracaju (SE).

Initially, its operation was authorized with three undergraduate courses: Accounting, Letters and Higher Education. Then came the Administration course. Currently, there are 26 undergraduate courses: Administration, Architecture and Urbanism, Biological Sciences, Accounting Sciences, Law, Physical Education - Bachelor's Degree, Physical Education (Bachelor's Degree), Nursing, Agronomic Engineering, Civil Engineering, Pharmacy, Physics, Physiotherapy, Geography, History , Letters, Mathematics, Veterinary Medicine, Nutrition, Dentistry, Pedagogy, Psychology, Chemistry, Social Work, Information and Technological Systems in Gastronomy. In addition to undergraduate courses, the institution offers a lato sensu postgraduate course - Specialization: Didactics of Higher Education, with emphasis on continuing education programs and courses for faculty members at Faculdade AGES, strengthening the teaching activity, aiming at the qualification and qualification of teachers and collaborators, especially for the improvement of their didactic-pedagogical practice.

Its main university campus is currently located at Av. Universitária, 23, Parque das Palmeiras, in Paripiranga (BA). However, in the beginning, it was held at the headquarters of Colégio AGES, located at Rua dos Estudante, 88, in the city center. However, on September 20, 2002, after months of work, the Faculty Campus was inaugurated, located in Parque das Palmeiras - historic space, of an area, for a long time, cultivated by traditional families who planted coffee in that location .

This acquisition and the implantation of the new campus, with spacious and comfortable facilities, is a complementary element of the education that we want to give to the students of the Institution. They can thus study in a wide, tranquil environment and very close to the city center.
