DeVry Group’s goals for Faci include expanding the institution’s programs and making further investments in academic quality and student services. Students and faculty of Faci will benefit from the exchange of academic best practices with other DeVry Brasil institutions and significant investments in infrastructure and technology. As with students from other DeVry Brasil institutions, Faci students will have the opportunity to develop academic projects with students from the United States and other countries where DeVry Group has a presence. Colleagues of Faci will also have opportunities for professional growth within the institution and other DeVry Brasil institutions.

Faci is recognized by the Brazilian government as having among the best General Index of Courses (IGC) in Pará. IGC is an instrument used by Brazil’s Ministry of Education to evaluate higher education institutions. IGC rankings are based on a weighted average of metrics used to rate undergraduate and graduate programs at each institution.
