In 1956 it is consolidated as a public university that aims to generate, study, preserve, transmit and extend universal knowledge and be at the service of society, in order to contribute to the achievement of new and better ways of human existence and coexistence, and to promote a universal, humanistic, national, free, fair and democratic conscience. 

The UAEM has hosted distinguished academics, philosophers and poets, as well as important personalities for the Mexican nation, such as the former President of México Adolfo López Mateos and liberal thinkers as Ignacio Ramirez Calzada and Ignacio Manuel Altamirano.
