The university was formed from the merger of three existing universities in Rzeszow, i.e. the Higher School of Pedagogy, a branch of the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, and the Faculty of Economics of the Agricultural Academy. It is currently the largest university in the Subcarpathian region. Although it is one of the younger Polish universities, it continues long-standing academic traditions. A priority in UR's activities is to maintain a high level of scientific research for the acquisition of knowledge and experience, benefiting various socio-economic, medical and cultural fields. A natural sphere of the University's commitment is also to educate and invariably perpetuate responsible and civic-minded students.
