The Universidad Autónoma de Occidente ("Autonomous University of the West" or UAdeO) is a public institution of higher education in the state of Sinaloa. Its main campus is located in Los Mochis, with units in Culiacán, El Fuerte, Guamúchil, Guasave and Mazatlán and extension centers at El Rosario and Escuinapa. The first incarnation of the university was founded on January 10, 1974, as the Centro de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (Western Center of Higher Studies or CESO). In 1979, the Basic School of Engineering, located in Culiacán, began operations; a month later, the School of Agricultural Administration opened in Los Mochis. That year, the CESO agreed to propose to the SEP the name Universidad de Occidente. In 1980, work began to restructure the CESO along university lines under the leadership of Dr. Julio Ibarra Urrea, who had previously been the rector of the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa in the mid-1960s when it obtained its autonomy.
