Undergraduate courses

The Institute of Exact Sciences offers 11 undergraduate courses. Some of them have both licentiate and bachelor degree. In Brazil, having a licentiate degree means that one can teach classes up to high school. It is equivalent to having an education bachelor besides its own bachelor degree.

On the list below, you can consult the curriculum of undergraduate courses offered at the Institute:
