The PPGCA received a grade A (maximum) in the evaluations carried out by the Ministry of Education and, with the implementation of the triennial evaluation system and later the quadrennial evaluation of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), the PPGCA has obtained a grade 7, ranking among the best postgraduate programs in the country.
