Undergraduate Controversy
FIA also offers an undergraduate degree in business administration, which has generated criticism from students, faculty and staff at the University of São Paulo (USP) as this is the first time a University of São Paulo–related entity offers a private undergraduate degree, while the University of São Paulo (USP) is a public institution owned by the state of São Paulo.
