Pós-Graduação

ECA's postgraduate came in 1972, with a master's degree in Communication Sciences, followed in 1974, with the creation of a master's degree in Arts, being a pioneer in the country in both areas. In order to generate knowledge and train researchers and critical professionals in the field of Arts and Communications, ECA's graduate program contributes to the training of teachers and other courses in these areas throughout Brazil.
For this, it has a faculty prepared both for research and extension activities, as well as for teaching and guidance.

The postgraduate activities have a wide impact, beyond the borders of the School, and the quality of the research developed in its programs is reflected in the national and international recognition of its researchers and teachers. As of 2005, ECA's current graduate programs are created, for masters and doctorates, in the specific fields of Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Information Science, Communication Sciences, Media and Audiovisual Processes and Song. In 2015, the Professional Master in Information Management is also created.

The Postgraduate Commission (CPG) is responsible for the management of ECA's graduate programs, which means drawing up guidelines, ensuring their execution and coordinating their didactic-scientific activities, based on USP standards. CPG is responsible for proposing reformulations in the structure of the programs or even the
creation of new graduate programs. CPG is also responsible for managing the academic routine of professors and students in graduate school: for example, the organization of the school calendar, deliberation on the accreditation and disqualification of disciplines and teachers, the definition of procedures in defenses of dissertations and theses and the criteria for transfer, registration locking and evaluation of applications for recognition of title.

In addition to the CPG, each ECA postgraduate program has a coordinating commission, which has its own operating regulations. The Program Coordinating Commissions (CCP) are responsible for the selection processes, deciding on the number of vacancies offered each year in master's and doctorate courses. In general, they
coordinate the execution of graduate programs and interinstitutional agreements, according to objective criteria of academic performance.
