The Instituto de Nutrição Josué de Castro (Josué de Castro Nutrition Institute - INJC), at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ) was created in 1946 as an education and research institution in the field of nutrition. This work, presented in the Perspectives modality, describes the history of graduate education (GE) at INJC, in the year of INJC’s 75th anniversary. This work is based on articles, books, documents, reports, minutes, and notes from UFRJ and INJC’s Graduate Programs. GE at INJC began in the late 1970s, with the offer of specialization courses. In 1985, the Master's Degree Program in Human Nutrition was implemented. Currently, INJC is the only institution in the field of Nutrition in Brazil that hosts academic master’s and doctoral programs, the Graduate Program in Nutrition, and a professional master’s program, the Graduate Program in Clinical Nutrition. The institution also offers six specialization courses and integrates four multi-professional internship programs within UFRJ. Consistent favorable indicators express the success of the coordinated efforts of faculty and students of GE Programs in initiatives that prioritize attraction of funding, the implementation of intra- and inter-institutional interdisciplinary projects, and qualified academic production. Graduate education at INJC is linked to undergraduate education and to university outreach programs, contributing to high-quality education and training of human resources in the field of food and nutrition. After 75 years, INJC, through graduate education, reaffirms the social and academic role of Brazilian public universities.
