context_section_description: The University facilities are located in mostly urban areas and follow primarily a decentralized model. The facilities are distributed over nine campuses - six in the capital city of Villahermosa and three in the municipality of Cunduacán.  There is also an Extension Program (formally, the Multidisciplinary College of los Ríos) that operates from the town of Tenosique.  The central offices of the University, as well as its main campus, are located on Avenida Universidad, Villahermosa, and it hosts the College of Education and Arts, and the College of Economics and Management.  The Colleges of Health Sciences, Life Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Agricultural and Fish Sciences are located at various other campuses in the city of Villahermosa.  The College of Systems and Informatics, the College of Basic Sciences, and the College of Engineering and Architecture are located in Cunduacán.
  In January 2009, the University began construction of its tenth Academic Division in the town of Comalcalco.  At a starting cost of 38 million Mexican pesos, this new location will be called the Multidisciplinary Division of Comalcalco.  The municipality of Comalcalco is located about 45 miles from the city of Villahermosa, and the University expects the new location to benefit some 865 students from the Chontalpa region currently enrolled at the University's other locations.  Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2009 and the new facilities will consist mostly of classrooms, laboratories, and a library.  Instruction will be primarily in the health sciences.
