Having been inaugurated in the city of Mazatlán, due to political difficulties in 1874 the state powers moved to Culiacán and, with them, also the Liceo Rosales, changing its original name to Colegio Rosales, but experiencing, at the same time, an interesting transformation in its educational offer: it designed and began to teach professional careers such as land surveyor, topographer and hydrographer, lawyer, accountant (bookkeeper), chemist (metal assayer) and primary education teacher.
After the Mexican Revolution, in 1918, Colegio Rosales became the first and original University of the West. The governor of the State, General Ramón F. Iturbe, decreed autonomy in its favor so that the University would have the legal capacity to decide on its academic project, manage its assets and govern itself, thus configuring a pioneering case of university reform in the country: under a visionary and innovative model of a regional university, the institution included various academic levels: secondary, normal, high school, adult education and continuing education, technical and undergraduate degrees; it developed an environment of academic freedom, the right to education and solidarity with broad social interests.
In 1922, the Universidad de Occidente moved to Colegio Civil Rosales. This institution was nourished by the autonomy regime, the atmosphere of freedom and the academic tradition of its predecessors.
Later, under the influence of Cardenismo, in 1937 it was transformed into the Socialist University of the Northwest, as such it was a promoter and supporter of the great social reforms of the time.
The era of the Socialist University of the Northwest ended with the government of General Lázaro Cárdenas, and in 1941 it became the University of Sinaloa. On December 4, 1965, the institution regained and developed its autonomy, which had been revoked in 1937. With the new legal order, it has maintained its current name of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa since that year.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the institution experienced intense mobilization of its students, teachers and workers, with episodes of crisis and destabilization. However, from 1977 onwards, the university movement alone was able to reestablish institutional normality by strengthening the cultural orientation, the planning of its performance and the general improvement of a University increasingly committed to the academy and the society of Sinaloa, under the precise and continuous motto of: academic improvement and social commitment.
In 1922, the Universidad de Occidente moved to Colegio Civil Rosales. This school was nourished by the autonomy regime, the atmosphere of freedom and the academic tradition of its predecessors. The academic regularization process, from then until now, was manifested in actions to professionalize the teaching staff, expand scientific research and postgraduate studies, deepen cultural outreach, and reorganize the administrative and financial structures of the institution.
