PROFUTURO develops FIA’s International MBAs. Our team applies the same standard of quality to all other courses: open, short-duration, and in-company, tailored specifically for individual clients. The program also boasts extensive experience in the research field and numerous consulting projects, using prospective methodologies appropriate to the specific characteristics of each client.

Our Mission

Our mission is to catalyze the evolution of tomorrow by fostering personal metamorphosis within a global context. At the core of our purpose is the creation and dissemination of knowledge about prospective methodologies, imminent trends, and their interconnection with strategy. We guide the formation of integral leaders who are equipped to thrive on an international stage.

OUR CAMPUS

Nossas aulas ocorrem no campus Nações Unidas

Our classes take place on the Nações Unidas campus located near the Pinheiros terminal. FIA’s campus is situated in the Birmann 21 building, a triple-A standard building, and has a central, privileged location that is easily accessible. It is the first Business School in Brazil to have its headquarters in a commercial building.

ACCREDITATION

The International MBAs from Profuturo FIA are nationally and internationally recognized.

In Brazil, FIA has its certificate registered as Postgraduate Lato Sensu Specialization, according to the resolution of MEC (Ministry of Education). Any foreign MBA title is considered a postgraduate Lato Sensu/Specialization, including those from Harvard and Wharton.

We are globally accredited by ANAMBA (National Association of MBAs), and we have the honor of also being part of its board and advisory council.

We were the first in Brazil to be recognized by AMBA (Association of MBAs), an international organization headquartered in England. Our certificate confers an internationally recognized Master of Business Administration (MBA) title, with the same validity as European courses like Insead, IMD, and London Business School. These courses are also recognized in the USA.

Since 2007, the Executive MBA Council (from the USA) assesses the level of satisfaction of our alumni.
