Fundação Getulio Vargas-Rio de Janeiro

Founded in 1952, FGV EBAPE — the Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration — was the first higher education institution dedicated to administration in Latin America. Since its establishment, the School has played a key role in developing leaders and advancing applied knowledge in public and business management, consolidating its position as an academic reference in Brazil and abroad. Located in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most iconic cities in the country and a major economic hub in Latin America, FGV EBAPE is strategically positioned to offer students unique opportunities for networking, academic development, and market integration.

The School offers outstanding undergraduate and graduate programs, carefully structured to meet the demands of an increasingly globalized and competitive world. Its academic portfolio includes the Bachelor of Science in Administration, the MSc and PhD in Administration, the Master in Management (MiM), the Executive Master in Business Administration (MEX), the Professional Master’s and Doctorate in Public Administration (MPA/DPA), as well as international double-degree and exchange opportunities with leading institutions worldwide. Each program is designed to combine academic rigor with practical application, providing students with a solid and up-to-date education.

The faculty is composed of internationally trained professors who are globally recognized for their excellence in research and the impact of their academic contributions. Their expertise is dedicated to preparing students to assume strategic roles in organizations across the public, private, and academic sectors, both in Brazil and internationally.

FGV EBAPE is internationally recognized for its commitment to excellence in teaching, research, internationalization, and societal impact. In 2024, the School achieved Triple Crown status by holding AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA accreditations — a distinction held by fewer than 1% of business schools worldwide. In addition, the School holds NASPAA and ICAPA accreditations in public administration, reinforcing its distinctive position at the intersection of business and public sector education. In recent national evaluations by Brazil’s Ministry of Education (MEC) and CAPES, FGV EBAPE maintained the highest possible ratings, consolidating its position as one of the leading higher education institutions in Latin America.
