ANDRADE, Cibele Y.; GOMES, Francisco A. M.; KNOBEL, Marcelo y SILVA, Ana Maria A. C.. Programa de Formação Interdisciplinar Superior: um novo caminho para a educação superior. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2012, vol.93, n.235, pp.698-719. ISSN 2176-6681.
This paper introduces the ProFIS (a portuguese acronym for Interdisciplinary Higher Education Program), an undergraduate course established at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) in 2011. Firstly, we mention the guidelines adopted for the creation of the course, which are the increase of the admission of low-income students, and the adoption of a general education program at the university. Then, we briefly describe the new course, including its curriculum and the mechanism of migration from ProFIS to other undergraduate courses of Unicamp. We conclude presenting the admission process, as well as some statistical data that reveals that the social inclusion aim was fully achieved by the first group of students admitted to the program.
