The Graduate Program in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics (PosLin), created in 1973, has contributed to the training of teacher-researchers, who have joined various public and private universities in Minas Gerais in Brazil and abroad. In recent years, it has also supported the training of researchers from foreign universities through programs such as PEC-PG, Move la América, and other types of agreements.

The most recent CAPES evaluations have kept the Program at an excellent level, with a score of 7 in the periods (2013-2016) and (2017-2020), and a score of 6 in (2021-2024), thus confirming the quality and seriousness of the work carried out.
