Founded in 1965, the UNINCOR started as a Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters and in 1975 passed the Higher Institute of Sciences, Letters and Arts Three Hearts - INCOR. The first courses were created in late 1967 by Opinion 263/67 and started operating in early 1968. Since then, with the creation of new courses and the recognition of the quality of those who were already taught in the institution, the INCOR has established itself as an important institution of the South School of Mines. Faithful to the laws of his sponsor, he established himself as a true house training, always putting the service of the entire regional community. As a direct consequence of their community vocation, on September 7, 1990, the former Foundation Tricordiana changed its name to Community Foundation Tricordiana of Education, in order to promote continuing education through teaching, research and extension. With the demand for new programs and expansion of the institute in 1998, it established the University Vale do Rio Verde - UNINCOR, based in Three Hearts. Gradually implemented the campuses of Caxambu and São Gonçalo do Sapucaí and units Betim, Belo Horizonte, Itaguara, Ibirité and Pará de Minas, all located in the State of Minas Gerais.
