Abstract

This study had as main objective to present the panorama of the national postgraduate studies since the creation of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - Capes to the present day. For this, a research was carried out on institutional reports and public systems, as well as using bibliographic sources, specific legislation and the development of descriptive statistics with regard to the evolution of national postgraduate studies. As main conclusions, it was highlighted that the post-graduation emerged, above all, from the national need for personnel qualification to meet the demands of public and private enterprises that would provide the bases for the country's development. The trajectory of Brazilian postgraduate studies can not be dissociated from the creation of Capes and the conduction of its Coordinators, particularly, Anísio Teixeira, its founder. The growth of both the number of courses offered and the number of enrollments and qualifications of the national graduate program stands out, albeit asymmetrically in relation to the regions of the country. For future research, it is suggested to carry out an analysis of the evolution of the numbers of Brazilian postgraduate courses since its origin, based on evidence and historical events, in the National Graduate Plan and in the National Development Strategy.
