How Do Distance Graduate Courses Work at IFMA?
The courses offered by IFMA are in the EaD modality, meaning classes take place in the Virtual Learning Environment (AVA), through materials such as PDFs, video lessons, and other formats defined by the professors of each subject.
However, students need to periodically attend the centers to carry out in-person activities, such as exams and practical meetings.
These in-person meetings usually take place once a month, on Saturdays or Sundays, and it is important for the student to be prepared to cover transportation costs to the chosen center city.
What Are the Courses and Where Are They Available?
IFMA offers two main specializations: Educational Technology and Agroecology and Rural Education.
The spots are distributed across 16 center cities in the state of Maranhão, including Bacabeira, Brejo, Colinas, Coroatá, Fortuna, Loreto, and several others.
When enrolling, the candidate must choose the city where they wish to attend in-person meetings.
According to the notice, the distribution of spots is divided as follows:
- Distance Postgraduate Studies in Educational Technology: Center cities such as Bacabeira, Brejo, Colinas, and others, with 40 spots in each.
- Distance Postgraduate Studies in Agroecology and Rural Education: Also distributed in the same center cities, with 40 spots for each location.
Who Can Participate and How Will Selection Be Made?
The selection for the spots will be made by electronic drawing. To participate, candidates must hold a higher education diploma (licentiate, bachelor, or technologist) and be available for the mandatory in-person meetings.
When Do Classes Start?
Classes are scheduled to start in December 2024, and candidates should stay alert to the activity schedule.
The in-person meetings are mandatory, so it is essential that the student is available to attend the selected center city.
