UNIVAG - Centro Universitário Várzea Grande is a private higher education institution operating in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, under the legal name Centro Universitário Várzea Grande and the trade name UNIVAG Centro Universitário. The institution operates dual physical campuses: a headquarters campus at Av. Dom Orlando Chaves 2655, Cristo Rei in Várzea Grande, and a secondary campus at Av. Mario Augusto Vieira 269, Morada do Ouro in Cuiabá. Its academic portfolio spans undergraduate programs (graduação) across Ciências Médicas, Ciências da Saúde, Ciências Agrárias e Engenharias, Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Educação Tecnológica, and Ciências Humanas; postgraduate specialization (Pós-Graduação) and MBA offerings; Stricto Sensu master's degrees (Mestrado) via a dedicated portal; extension courses; foreign language programs (UNIVAG Idiomas); and international exchange programs (Intercâmbio). Programs are delivered in presencial, semipresencial, and EAD (distance learning) formats, with course durations ranging from 8 to 10 semesters depending on the degree.

The academic infrastructure is supported by four proprietary digital platforms: the Portal do Aluno for academic administration, the Plataforma AVA (avaunivag.univagead.com.br) for EAD course delivery, the Portal do Professor for faculty administration, and the Portal de Matrículas for enrollment management. The institution also operates on-campus service facilities that double as practical training environments, including an Integrated Clinic (Clínica Integrada), a Legal Practice Center (NPJ), a School Pharmacy (Farmácia Escola), and a Library. The institution holds official MEC (Ministério da Educação) certification, displayed as the MEC seal on its website, and runs an INOVAG entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem alongside a broader PD&I research framework and Scientific Initiation Program. Academic research output is published via its own portal at periodicos.univag.com.br.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and fees across the program portfolio, characterized as subscription/recurring revenue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Students access education through a layered financial aid ecosystem including the FIES federal student financing program, the Nossa Bolsa Brasil scholarship, Orgulho de Ser UNIVAG discounts, corporate convenio agreements, and the UNIVAG Mais installment plan. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on vestibular entrance exams (general and Medicina-specific), an online enrollment portal, scheduled school and individual campus visits, and a broad social media presence across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn. The customer base comprises individual students — undergraduate vestibulandos as the primary segment, postgraduate and master's students, and EAD learners — plus corporate partners under convenio agreements.
