SIPA and the Fundação Getulio Vargas Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo Dual Degree Program*
Back to International Dual Degree Programs
Columbia University’s SIPA and the Fundação Getulio Vargas, Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo (FGV-EAESP) announce a new dual degree program that will begin Fall 2010
Columbia’s SIPA and the FGV-EAESP have come together to offer a new dual degree program for graduate students interested in studying public policy and business from an international perspective. The Schools have designed a unified two-year curriculum which draws on the strengths, cultures and traditions of both Schools. Students will complete the SIPA core curriculum in public policy in New York during their first year of study, developing analytical skills in economics, statistics, and political systems, and gaining an overview of public and non-profit management. The group will then move as a cohort to FGV-EAESP in São Paolo for a second year of study during which they can choose from a wide array of public policy and business fields to develop a specialization. The graduates of this program are expected to leave with strong analytical and managerial skills, deep policy knowledge, and academic credentials from leading institutions on two continents.
FGV-EAESP, one of the leading academic institutions in Latin America, created by the Fundação Getulio Vargas, is widely recognized as the leading business and public management school in Brazil, and is one of the principal Brazilian centers of teaching, research, publication and consulting in its field, with undergraduate, graduate, executive, and dual-degree programs.
The language of instruction at FGV is Portuguese. Tuition is paid to the school where the students reside.
Qualified candidates will be talented bi-lingual or multi-lingual professionals with academic training in the analytical skills of the social sciences and with a focus on business administration, international affairs, or public policy. It is anticipated that graduates will work in public, private on non-profit institutions, or that they will pursue careers in multilateral governmental organizations, international NGOs, or multinational corporations.
