Academia Atlântico partners with UCP for philosophy studies
Academia Atlântico has entered a partnership with the Catholic University of Petrópolis (UCP) to offer its philosophy undergraduate program through distance learning. The initiative marks a new phase for the project, which began in 2020.
Psychiatrist Italo Marsili noted that the program currently has over 1,100 enrolled students, suggesting that Brazil is beginning to transition from being known primarily for football to becoming a center for philosophy. The curriculum is rooted in classical philosophy, covering thinkers such as Socrates, Aristotle, Saint Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, with a declared Thomistic emphasis.
UCP, which was founded in 1953, features a faculty for this program composed entirely of masters and doctors. The university currently offers 39 undergraduate courses alongside master's and doctoral programs.
