Postgraduate Program in Administration

The Graduate Program in Administration of UCS (PPGA) started its activities in 2006, with the implementation of its Masters of Science (MSc) in Administration, as recommended by CAPES.

In 2014, CAPES approved the new concentration area and the two research lines of the Postgraduate Program in Administration of UCS, which were defined as follows:

  • Focus Area - Strategy and Innovation.
  • Lines of Research - Strategy and Operations and Innovation and Competitiveness.

In 2010, PPGA-UCS was recommended by CAPES for the establishment and the implementation of a Doctoral Degree in Administration, through the Comprehensive Association Modality of Higher Education Institutions, in association with PUCRS, which led to the creation of its own PPGA-UCS Doctoral program in December 2014. The activities began in 2015, acting in the Areas of Strategy and Innovation. In the last Federal Evaluation, PPGA-UCS has reached level 5 (out of 7) on a national basis. Only 29 courses out of 135 have reached such level of quality.

The Graduate Program in Administration brings together professionals with internationally renowned institutions, giving the program an international character, which translates into the possibility of six research languages (German, Spanish, French, English, Portuguese and Russian) and the approach of postgraduate students to the knowledge generated in different parts of the world, giving them the opportunity to follow the evolution of knowledge and research in the areas of the PPGA-UCS.
