What FEAUSP does

FEAUSP (Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Contabilidade e Atuária da Universidade de São Paulo) is the Faculty of Economics, Administration, Accounting and Actuarial Science at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil's largest and most prestigious public university. Founded in 1946, FEAUSP delivers undergraduate and graduate (academic master's, doctoral, postdoctoral, and professional master's) education across four core disciplines, supported by affiliated research foundations including FIPE (economics research), FIA (administration), and FIPECAFI (accounting and actuarial research).

The institution's product portfolio spans the Graduação (undergraduate), Pós-Graduação Acadêmica (academic graduate programs), Pós-Graduação Profissional (notably the Mestrado Profissional em Empreendedorismo, established 2014), and Pós-Doutorado (postdoctoral programs). Beyond degree programs, FEAUSP maintains specialized research and extension initiatives such as the Bioeconomia da Amazônia research group (FAPESP- and MCTI-funded), the Pioneiros & Empreendedores extension project led by Professor Jacques Marcovitch, and the recently inaugurated LAME (Laboratório de Mídias Empreendedoras) for entrepreneurial media production. Core technology is anchored in university academic computing infrastructure and digital learning management systems, including the Biblioteca Digital acervo featuring the Delfim Netto Collection.

FEAUSP operates as a non-commercial public institution: tuition is not charged to Brazilian citizens, and funding flows primarily through state government budget allocations to USP and FAPESP research grants. The entity is governed by a Director (incoming: Professor João Maurício Gama Boaventura, succeeding Professor Maria Dolores Montoya Diaz) and a Congregação board. Distribution is channeled through the national Vestibular entrance exam, international exchange agreements (CCNINT-FEA), and formal internship agreements with Empresas Conveniadas under Resolução 5528. Student organizations (e.g., Centro Acadêmico CAVC, Atlética, FEA Júnior) and the PET-ADM Tutorial Education Program (founded 1994) supplement the academic ecosystem.
