Presentation

The proposal of a Professional Master's degree Program in Geography derives primarily from the need for continuous qualification for teachers who work in the basic education network and who, over time, have acquired training/education at undergraduate level and entered the job market, but do not have, at the state level, a stricto sensu qualification.

 

Created in 2015, the Professional Master's Degree in Geography (GEOPROF) is an in-person program offered by UFRN, in line with its Institutional Development Plan with respect to the policy of strengthening of the countryside and of expansion of graduate education and of the integrating actions with the undergraduate programs, encouraging the production of knowledge. The program aims to meet the demands of continuing training primarily for Geography teachers of the basic education network who operate in the territory of Rio Grande do Norte and in other federal states.

 


Currently, the Graduate Program in Geography - Professional Master's Degree, in accordance with the CAPES’s evaluation criteria, has grade 3.
