UNAMA was formally established in 1993, but its history goes back to the 1970s. In 1974, a group of teachers creates the "Centro de Estudos Superiores do Estado do Pará" (CESEP), one of the first institutions of higher education in the state of Pará. At that same time, another project to establish a private college gave rise to the "Faculdades Integradas Colégio Moderno" (FICOM). In 1985, CESEP and FICOM began to run a joint specialization program. This union would last until 1987, when CESEP and FICOM finally merged and gave rise to the "União das Escolas Superiores do Pará" (UNESPA).
In 1993, the project to turn UNESPA into a university takes place. The new institution was called "Universidade da Amazônia" and became known by its abbreviation "UNAMA" since then. At the time of its founding, the campuses "Alcindo Cacela" and "Quintino Bocaiúva" were already built. The campuses "Senador Lemos" and "Campus BR" began to operate only in the 2000s.
