Anyone with a completed degree can apply for some of these spots.
Free Graduate Program at UFLA: EAD Specialization in Management
UFLA has an open notice (No. 3/2025) for two courses of graduate studies. They are specializations in the area of Management. The courses are 100% free. The format is Distance Learning (EAD). This is a valuable opportunity to obtain a specialist title. The certificate is from a recognized federal university.
Two courses are offered, each with 150 spots:
-
