About Halu Oleo University

Universitas Halu Oleo, abbreviated as UNHOL, was founded in 1964 and was affiliated with Hasanuddin University in Makassar. In 1981, Universitas Halu Oleo achieved autonomy following the issuance of Presidential Decree Number 37 of 1981, dated August 14, 1981. This historic event was followed by the signing of the inscription commemorating the establishment of Universitas Halu Oleo on August 19, 1981, by the then Director-General of Higher Education, Prof. Dr. Rer. Nat. Doddy Achdiat Tisna Amidjaja. Initially, Universitas Halu Oleo comprised just four faculties: the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, and the Faculty of Agriculture. During this period, the university was situated on a 7-hectare campus, which is now recognized as the Kemaraya campus. Universitas Halu Oleo (UHO) stands as a significant asset to the Indonesian nation, contributing to the development of high-caliber human resources. Its impact extends to both the Southeast Sulawesi community and the broader Indonesian society. Universitas Halu Oleo consistently endeavors to be a forward-looking and distinguished institution, actively engaging in educational innovation, research, and community service. These efforts aim to cultivate well-rounded and knowledgeable human resources, particularly in the fields of coastal, marine, and rural development. Regarding its organizational structure, under the leadership of the Rector, UHO boasts four Vice Rectors, two heads of institutes (the Institute for Research and Community Service and the Institute for Educational Quality Assessment and Development), 14 Deans, one Director of Graduate Studies, as well as seven Heads of Technical Service Units (Library, Language Center, Botanical Garden, Integrated Laboratory, Information Technology Center, Archives, and Entrepreneurship and Student Career Development Unit).
