Description:
The Business and Culture program at the CIEE Study Center in Sao Paulo aims to help students develop skills and competency in Portuguese while studying issues related to business in Brazil and Latin America. Academic Program The Business and Culture program offers students interested in business and the Latin American region the opportunity to study Portuguese and business-related courses in one of the most economically important countries in the world. All coursework besides Portuguese language is part of an International Management (IPM) Diploma at FGV, a program geared to Brazilian and international students that have either completed their undergraduate degrees or are advanced undergraduate students. Academic year students, with advanced Portuguese language, may enroll in direct enrollment business courses taught in Portuguese at FGV on a case by case basis. Resident staff will work with students individually after arrival. Academic Culture The academic culture at FGV focuses both on theoretical learning and practical knowledge. In the classroom, students are able to debate and discuss innovative management issues, analyze case studies, and participate in role-playing exercises to better understand business principles. Each course at FGV meets for an 8-week module, and is taught in English. The normal course load is 3 courses per module plus the CIEE language course. Students should expect challenging coursework and a rigorous program of study. Under the supervision of the Academic Advisor, students may enroll in any IPM course. FGV follows a Southern Hemisphere academic calendar: the first semester of the academic year begins in late February and finishes the first week of July; the second semester begins the first week of August and ends in mid-December.
