FGV EAESP

What FGV EAESP does

FGV EAESP (Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo) is a Brazilian private, non-profit business school founded in 1954 as part of Fundação Getulio Vargas. It offers a vertically integrated degree portfolio spanning undergraduate programs in Business Administration and Public Administration, multiple MBA formats (Executive, Executive Saúde, Global, OneMBA), professional master's degrees (MPA, MPGPP, MPGI, MPGC, DPGPP), and academic master's and doctoral programs. The school holds Triple Crown accreditation (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS) and a maximum grade from Brazil's Ministry of Education, anchoring its positioning as Brazil's leading business school.

The school monetizes primarily through tuition and fees across multi-year undergraduate and graduate programs, with scholarship support concentrated in academic master's and doctoral tracks. Distribution is dominated by a single São Paulo campus, complemented by an Admissions Office driving student recruitment and a network of 130+ international partner institutions across 45 countries that supports student exchange, dual degrees, and joint programs through CEMS, PIM, and GNAM alliances. A secondary ecosystem layer — including FGV Ventures (non-profit startup accelerator), GV Angels (alumni angel investor network), a Garagem de Startups incubator, and a Liga de Empreendedorismo — creates adjacency revenue and network effects rather than direct margin contribution, as the accelerator explicitly charges neither fees nor equity. Supporting the degree business is a 44,000+ alumni network operated through the Graduway Community mobile app and a portfolio of 22-25 research centers covering sustainability, retail, infrastructure, public policy, analytics, and ethics.
