The Academic Graduate Studies in Administration Program at FGV EBAPE consists of the MSc and PhD in Administration. Closely connected, these courses share the same values and principles.
The main purpose of the MSc program is to prepare students for PhDs (at FGV EBAPE or some other distinguished institution in Brazil or elsewhere in the world) or for the job market.
The main purpose of the PhD program is to prepare students for academic careers as research professors at universities or other academic institutions in Brazil or abroad.
The MSc & the PhD programs offer methodological and conceptual training equivalent to those provided by its international peers, as well as knowledge and access tailored to the many different contexts of the reality in Brazil. Strong emphasis is given to the generation and dissemination of high quality research through publication papers in leading journals in the field of administration and related areas.
