Fundação Dom Cabral (FDC) is a prestigious Brazilian business school. Located in the city of Nova Lima, just 30 km south from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, FDC's mission is to contribute to the society's development through the education of executives, businessmen and companies.

Founded in 1976, it started as a spin-off of the Minas Gerais Catholic University’s (PUC-MG) Extension Center. As a not-for-profit organization, Fundação Dom Cabral has maintained a solid national and international reputation gained through the development of strong links with executives and companies in Brazil and abroad as well as with international schools and associations.

FDC is characterized by its focus on cooperation with companies and international schools. Synergy with companies is the end result of the link between theory and practice, strengthened by the interactive work of FDC’s faculty, which combines academic qualifications and business experiences.
