RESUMO

This dissertation is about the recent expansion of the private higher education programs in Salvador, from the year of 1990 to the year of 2002. It points out some of the facts related to how the higher education system evolved in Brazil and in the state of Bahia, as well as how its most important aspects molded its present local department configuration. It is a study of exploratory nature, in which its main objective is to determine whether the increase in the number of spaces offered in the Universities, is proportional to its demand. This increase has been quite significant in the last thirteen years in Salvadors education system. In a recent survey, it was established that 76% of the spaces offered by Salvadors IES, were a result of a total of spaces from only ten courses. Most of the sponsors invested most of their money in only a few courses. Therefore, based on all of the information provided by the Universities main staff, its safe to assume that both in Brazil and in the state of Bahia, there is an excess in availability of spaces in only some of the graduation courses, caused by the concentration of sponsorship. This excess of availability of spaces in just few of the courses, was possibly a result of how the local education department processed the expansion of the higher education programs in the capital of Bahia, as mentioned above. With that in mind, that means that for some of the courses there is no relationship between the demand of spaces and its availability.
