The Federal University of Sergipe (Portuguese: Universidade Federal de Sergipe, UFS) is a Brazilian public institution based in Sergipe, with campuses in São Cristóvão, Aracaju, Itabaiana, Laranjeiras, and Lagarto. Founded in 1967 by the junction of the state's existing colleges, it became its second university (the first being the University of Tiradentes, a private institution founded in 1962)[7] and its first public one. It became the state's most reputable and competitive[8] higher education institution, ranking among the country's 40 best universities[9] and Latin America's top 200 list.[10][11]
