What Escola de Educação Física e Esporte da USP does

Escola de Educação Física e Esporte da USP (EEFE-USP) is a public academic unit within the University of São Paulo, founded in 1935 and located at Av. Prof. Mello Moraes, 65, Cidade Universitária, São Paulo, Brazil. The institution specializes in physical education and sports sciences and is organized into three academic departments — Biodinâmica do Movimento do Corpo Humano, Esporte, and Pedagogia do Movimento do Corpo Humano. It offers undergraduate programs in both Licenciatura (teacher training) and Bacharelado (with emphases in Human Development and Sports Training/Management), as well as continuous-enrollment Master's and Doctoral programs in Physical Education and Sports, with research spanning biomechanics, motor behavior, sports pedagogy, and exercise physiology. The school operates dedicated research laboratories, ethics committees for human and animal research, and publishes the indexed Revista Brasileira de Educação Física e Esporte (RBEFE).

EEFE-USP's business model is anchored in public funding from the State of São Paulo, with no tuition charged for undergraduate or graduate degree programs. Revenue-generating activity is limited to fee-based extension, specialization, and continuing education courses, as well as community programs (swimming, gymnastics, climbing, elderly fitness, adapted physical activities) distributed through the institution's Culture and Extension service. Admission to degree programs occurs through FUVEST (vestibular) and the ENEM/Sisu system; graduate admissions use continuous enrollment. International exchange is coordinated through USP's central AUCANI agency. Go-to-market relies on institutional channels — official website, social media, newsletters, and academic events — rather than commercial sales infrastructure. The institution's customer base spans undergraduate students, graduate researchers, working professionals, and the broader São Paulo community.
