context_page_description: Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco is a public institution of higher learning located in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico. The mission of the university is "to prepare professionals with broad and deep expertise in their area of study to fill the needs of Tabasco and the country at large." UJAT is the largest and most prominent university in the state of Tabasco. During the 2007-2008 academic year the University enrolled 35,271 students and had a teaching staff of over 2,000. For the same school year the University offered bachelor's degrees in 36 disciplines, master's degrees in 26 areas, three doctoral degrees, and post-graduate Certificates in 17 graduate areas of specialization. The University grants law, education, management, engineering, medicine, architecture, nursing, and dentistry degrees, plus some 30 additional degrees in other fields of study.
context_section_description: The University is divided into nine separate academic divisions, roughly equivalent to the college or school subdivisions of other major universities and which denotes the granting of a certain level of autonomy to the internal affairs of the academic subdivision in question.  Students choose entry into one of these nine academic divisions, though degrees are granted and titled by the University. Prospective students must possess a high school diploma, preferably from a college preparatory high school, and pass a university entrance exam to be admitted into the academic division of their choice. Moving from one academic division to another within the University is generally not possible without significant loss of earned academic credits.  The University integrates intramural sports, physico-culture, fitness, band, and ballet teams amongst its extracurricular offerings.
  The University has collective agreements with various other institutions and organizations.
  One such agreement is with the Texas A&M University "intended to create an environment conductive to the broadening and strengthening of its programs".  The College of Basic Sciences has collective agreements with the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Colegio de Bachilleres de Tabasco (CBT), Dirección General de Educación Tecnológica e Industrial (DGETI), Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo (IMP), Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEM), Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE), Secretaría de Salud del Edo. de Tabasco, and Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX).
  The College of Life Sciences has a collective agreement with Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, USA, for the evaluation, provisioning, and breeding of telapia fish.
