Along with the University of O'Higgins, it is the first state university to be created in Chile in more than two decades, the last created in 1993.[3] O'Higgins and Aysén were the only Chilean regions where no campuses of University of Chile or the Technical State University (UTE) were created, which were converted to "regional universities" beginning in 1981,[4] and so were until 2015 the only regions without their own state universities.
