Complementary Skills Program (PROHAC) – Master Courses

FGV EESP’s Master Course Complementary Skills Program (PROHAC) aims to enable students who complete a Master course develop additional skills. They may study a new area in the context of the same course or in a different Master course. Once students who have completed a Master course can join the program.

This program will give participants a complementary certificate. To obtain it, students need only pass the subjects studied and attend at least 75% of the classes. There is no need to do a term paper to obtain the certificate.

To do PROHAC, candidates should go to the secretarial office to find out the necessary procedures. Acceptance into PROHAC is subject to the availability of places and approval by the coordination office.

MPE Alumni

Created in 2003, the Professional Master’s in Economics (MPE) has been growing year after year, and it is now a well-established program, which since 2007 has been given the maximum score (5) by the Brazilian Education Ministry’s graduate education support agency, CAPES, for professional master’s courses. Known originally as the Professional Master’s in Finance and Economics (MPFE), as it offered students a specialized course in finance or economics, MPE now features various areas of focus to keep up with economic and market trends.

To foster relations between MPE and FGV EESP, students and alumni, the Alumni Program was launched in 2014. This initiative organizes courses, talks and other activities, with exclusive advantages for MPE students and alumni.

The program also runs a channel for communication between students via social networks, including LinkedIn and a website dedicated to activities and resources available to students and alumni.

MPE Complementary Academic Courses

This initiative gives a 25% discount to MPE alumni to study elective subjects at MPE or specific mandatory subjects in the course’s different areas of focus. Students receive a certificate of participation, with or without a grade, at the discretion of students. The 25% discount for MPE alumni also applies to subjects in FGV EESP’s Academic Master’s and Doctorate courses.

MPE alumni can apply to take complementary academic courses at any time by emailing coordenacao.mpe@fgv.br.

MPE Minor

This is a possibility for alumni to study a new area of focus and obtain a graduate certificate to complement their professional master’s. In MPE Minor, alumni choose one of MPE’s areas of emphasis, different from the one already taken, and they study three (3) specific mandatory subjects for that area of focus plus an elective subject, within up to four years. If they pass these four (4) subjects, alumni will receive a graduate certificate in this new area of focus. Alumni will study the four (4) subjects of MPE Minor with the 25% discount mentioned above.
