Famma - Faculdade Metropolitana Do Marajo

What Famma - Faculdade Metropolitana Do Marajo does

Faculdade Metropolitana do Marajó (FAMMA) is a private higher education institution headquartered in Breves, Pará, in the Marajó archipelago region of northern Brazil. The institution operates as the primary higher education provider for the geographically isolated Marajó and Baixo Tocantins regions, addressing a structural gap in access to quality undergraduate education. FAMMA delivers five undergraduate programs: Law (Direito) and Pedagogy (Pedagogia) as fully MEC-authorized and recognized courses, Psychology (Psicologia) authorized via Portaria nº 899 on December 10, 2025, and Nursing (Enfermagem) and Dentistry (Odontologia) currently in the MEC authorization process. The institution also offers postgraduate programs and serves as a community anchor through extension projects such as the awarded BRINQUI initiative.

FAMMA runs on a recurring tuition revenue model, with payment primarily facilitated through the federal FIES (Fundo de Financiamento Estudantil) program, which provides subsidized financing for qualifying students and up to 100% coverage under FIES Social for low-income CadÚnico enrollees. Its go-to-market is event-driven and direct-to-consumer: prospective students apply through an online vestibular (entrance exam) administered via Google Forms, with marketing concentrated on the institutional website, WhatsApp, and Instagram (@famma.breves). Go-to-market lacks paid acquisition infrastructure, relying instead on local accessibility and government financing accessibility as primary demand levers.

The institution's core technology consists of standard digital academic infrastructure rather than proprietary platforms: a student portal (acadustecnologia.com/famma), professor and administrative portals, a virtual library (famma.phl.bib.br) with periodical access, and an institutional repository. No proprietary AI/ML capabilities are documented. The organization operates with a very lean team of 5 employees under Diretora Geral Profa. Esp. Izabel Sousa, supported by a board of course coordinators and a CPA (Comissão Própria de Avaliação) self-evaluation committee operating under the SINAES framework.
