Founded in 1947 by Brazilian journalist Cásper Líbero, it is the oldest journalism school in Latin America.

Currently it offers courses in advertising, public relations and radio, TV and internet as a complement to the area of social communication, in addition to an interdisciplinary research center, postgraduate programs, and university extension.

Faculdade Cásper Líbero also develops postgraduate programs at master's and specialization levels, maintains an interdisciplinary research center and promotes the provision of free and university extension courses.

The collection management system underwent a modernization process in June 2008, making it possible to access online services.

Several editions of the old Gazeta Esportiva are preserved on site, television materials stored in past formats (Quadruplex videotape, U-matic, Betacam, among others.)
