FEA-USP
FEA-USP is a public higher education faculty of the University of São Paulo located in São Paulo, Brazil, focused on teaching and research in Economics, Business Administration, and Accounting. The faculty has produced graduates who participated in institutions such as the Central Bank of Brazil, Banco do Brasil, Petrobras, Itaú Unibanco, and the World Bank, and has links with international bodies like the International Monetary Fund, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and United Nations. FEA-USP maintains academic collaborations and exchange programs with universities including Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, London School of Economics, University of Cambridge, and Universidade de Coimbra.
FEA-USP was founded in 1946 amid post-World War II reforms influenced by figures associated with the Getúlio Vargas era and advisers who had contacts with John Maynard Keynes, Raúl Prebisch, and scholars from University of Chicago. Early faculty included alumni of Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo, participants in the Modern Art Week (1922), and economists who worked on policies during the Estado Novo. Over decades FEA-USP engaged with policy debates tied to the Plano de Metas, the Military dictatorship (1964–1985), and re-democratization processes involving actors from Workers' Party (Brazil), Brazilian Democratic Movement, and central bankers linked to the Real Plan. The faculty expanded course offerings during periods of economic turmoil such as the Brazilian economic crisis of the 1980s and the stabilization of the Brazilian real in the 1990s.
FEA-USP offers undergraduate and graduate programs in fields related to Economics, Business Administration, Accounting, and specialized tracks that align with professional bodies such as the Conselho Federal de Contabilidade and regulatory frameworks shaped by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil. Graduate offerings include stricto sensu master's and doctoral programs connected to research themes found in institutes like Fundação Getulio Vargas. Students pursue joint initiatives with programs linked to Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo, Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo, Escola de Comunicações e Artes da Universidade de São Paulo, and participate in double-degree arrangements with Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad de Chile, Columbia University, and Universität zu Köln.
The faculty hosts research centers and laboratories addressing topics related to industrial policy debates seen in studies about Vale S.A., Embraer, and CSN (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional), as well as macroeconomic analyses referencing the Mercado Comum do Sul and Mercosur. Research groups collaborate with institutions such as the Brazilian Institute of Economics, Centro de Estudos de Risco Brasil, Instituto Ayrton Senna projects on social indicators, and international networks linked to the International Finance Corporation and the Inter-American Development Bank. The faculty publishes working papers and journals that cite comparative work with scholars from University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Universidade de São Paulo's Instituto de Matemática e Estatística, and Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro.
FEA-USP is based on the Cidade Universitária (USP) campus, sharing infrastructure with faculties like Instituto de Química (USP), Escola Politécnica (USP), and Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas (USP), and is near cultural sites such as the Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo and Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand. Facilities include lecture halls named for personalities connected to Brazilian policy debates, computer labs equipped for quantitative analysis using software employed at Banco Central do Brasil, and libraries that hold collections related to works by Celso Furtado, Luiz Gonzaga Belluzzo, Ignácio Rigor and international authors such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Milton Friedman.
Student organizations at the faculty include academic centers modeled after groups active at universities like Harvard College, and professional student chapters that liaise with employers including McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, Goldman Sachs, and Accenture. Cultural and political student movements reflect wider Brazilian campus currents associated with events like the Diretas Já demonstrations and activism related to unions such as Central Única dos Trabalhadores. Student-managed initiatives organize case competitions, conferences featuring speakers from Confederação Nacional da Indústria, and exchange programs with associations like AIESEC and Rotary International.
Alumni and faculty have included ministers and central bankers who served in cabinets under presidents such as Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and Michel Temer, executives at firms like Bradesco and Santander Brasil, and scholars who collaborated with international academics from Yale University, Princeton University, and University of Oxford. Other notable figures have engaged with institutions such as the Inter-American Dialogue and received awards alongside recipients from the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences community.
Admission to undergraduate programs typically involves processes comparable to the Vestibular and national selection examinations that parallel policies influenced by the Ministry of Education (Brazil), while graduate admissions require evaluation standards akin to those at Fundação Getulio Vargas and Universidade Estadual de Campinas. The faculty appears in national and international rankings alongside institutions like Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Fundação Getulio Vargas, and Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro in assessments produced by agencies comparable to Times Higher Education and QS World University Rankings.
