摘要：This paper concerns the teaching of Economics at Federal University of Rio Grande
do Sul (UFRGS). Initially it analyzes how the Economics teaching (graduate and post-graduate
degrees) at “Faculdade de Ciências Econômicas” (FCE) – the School of Economics – was structured
along the time and since its creation in 1909, when the high school level course and the
college level course at “Escola de Comércio de Porto Alegre” - Scholl of Commerce – started to
operate. Next, it focuses on the importance of the “Centro de Estudos e Pesquisas Econômicas”
(IEPE) – Center for Economic Studies and Research – created in 1953, for the development of
research, and also the post-graduate degree courses that were created at FCE/UFRGS, as well
as the impact of the creation of post-graduate degree courses in the 1960 e 1970. This paper is
divided in two sections: Historical background, where the origin, evolution and main changes
that occurred regarding graduate and post-graduate degrees courses are presented, and Current
period, where the present situation of the teaching of Economics at FCE/UFRGS and the
related academic activities are analyzed.
