This study seeks to analyze the history of distance higher education offered by the public educational system of the state of Bahia in order to identify its advances and contradictions in relation to the following question under investigation: how does the state's providing of distance higher education in Bahia adjust itself in relation to the progress and contradictions inherent in this process? The methodology adopted employs documental research. Considering the prominence of the State University of Bahia (UNEB) in relation to the number of online higher education courses offered in Bahia, this research focuses on the UNEB experience. It addresses the legal basis for the development of distance education at the higher education level, the implementation of Brazil's Open University (UAB) system in Bahia - and experiences that existed prior to its adoption - and the integration of distance education in traditional university classrooms. This article identifies the advances and contradictions that accompanied the process of assimilation of distance education by Bahia's state universities. It also looks at the ways in which the framework of public higher education in Bahia was modified as a result of the introduction of distance education and the impact that its implementation has had upon on the organizational structure of the university.
