What Faculdade NOVOESTE does

Faculdade NOVOESTE is a private higher education institution headquartered at Rua Rui Barbosa, 1792, Centro, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, operating under legal entity Novoeste Educacional Ltda (CNPJ 17.343.172/0001-60). It was informally initiated in late 2012 through a partnership with Faculdade de Ampère (FAMPER) to deliver 15 lato sensu postgraduate courses concentrated in health, and was formally constituted as Faculdade NOVOESTE in 2016 when André Rabello Akagi became majority shareholder and mantainer alongside Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Pereira. The institution received initial MEC accreditation via Portaria nº 1.063 (2017-09-05), EAD accreditation via Portaria nº 1.986 (2019-11-11), and reaccreditation via Portaria nº 114 (2024-02-08) under e-MEC code 21426.

The institution offers undergraduate (Graduação) programs in Administration (presencial and EAD), Hospital Management (presencial), and technological degrees in Commercial Management, Quality Management, Human Resources, Marketing, Systems Analysis, Data Science and AI, and Cyber Defense; postgraduate (Pós-Graduação) specializations across 9 areas (Health, Agricultural Sciences, Management, Education, Public Management, Communication/Technology, Law/Security, Autism, Social Work) delivered in presencial, live-online, and EAD modalities; and extension courses through the Brasil Sem Distância sub-brand portal (500+ courses in 36 knowledge areas, launched 2026-02). Delivery infrastructure includes a Virtual Learning Environment for EAD, inverted classroom spaces, virtual reality hardware for practical content, a Sponte/Jacad student portal, library, and NAPI psychopedagogical support.

Revenue is generated primarily through semester/cycle tuition (subscription-recurring) for degree programs and unit-priced extension courses, with price discrimination via ENEM score scholarships (20%–60%), alumni discounts (15% presencial, 40% EAD), referral programs, and pass-through funding from government financing programs (FIES, PROUNI, Vale Universidade). An ancillary B2B revenue stream is the Business Incubation and Consulting Program (Programa de Incubação e Consultoria Empresarial), which charges incubated companies R$300–R$600+ monthly and funds a student-run junior consulting enterprise. Go-to-market combines sales-led enrollment via vestibular/ENEM/transfer, referral-driven community motion ('O Especialista Indica', 'Indicação Premiada'), and event-driven demand from the incubation program. Customer segments are undergraduate and postgraduate students as the primary base, with extension-course participants and incubated SMEs as secondary segments; the institution does not disclose revenue, headcount, or enrollment figures.
