What UFRJ / FACC does

FACC (Faculdade de Administração e Ciências Contábeis) is a teaching and research unit of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), operating within the Centro de Ciências Jurídicas e Econômicas (CCJE) at the Praia Vermelha campus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a federal public institution, chartered and registered in Brazil's e-MEC system, that delivers higher education in business administration, accounting, and library/information management. Its product portfolio comprises three tuition-free undergraduate programs (Administração, Biblioteconomia e Gestão de Unidades de Informação, and Ciências Contábeis), two stricto sensu graduate programs (PPGCC in Accounting Sciences and PPGOCTS in Organization of Knowledge, Technologies and Society), and approximately 16 fee-based lato sensu MBA and specialization programs covering tax audit, corporate finance, public finance, marketing, project management, logistics, ESG, and judicial expertise. Supporting infrastructure includes the student-run junior enterprise AYRA, an alumni association, and academic partnerships with ISKO Brasil and ANCIB.

The underlying technology stack is conventional academic infrastructure: the Ava Moodle UFRJ learning management system and the SIGA/UFRJ academic management system. There is no proprietary software platform, no commercial product, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The business model is hybrid and institutionally defined: undergraduate education is tuition-free and funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Education through UFRJ's federal budget allocation; graduate stricto sensu programs are funded by Capes, CNPq, and Faperj research grants and scholarships; lato sensu MBA and specialization programs generate fee-based revenue from individual professionals. Distribution occurs through two physical campuses (Praia Vermelha in Urca and Cidade Universitária) and through the Consórcio UFRJ/CEDERJ for distance-learning programs. Customer segments are exclusively individuals (prospective undergraduate students, graduate researchers, and mid-career professionals seeking continuing education), with no corporate or enterprise clients evident in the data. Leadership transitioned in 2025 to Prof. Marcos Pinto (Director) and Profª Eliane Ribeiro (Vice-Director) for the 2025-2029 term.
