Abstract
Brazilian higher education has experienced a rapid expansion since the beginning of this century, from a total enrollment of 2.7 million students at the undergraduate level in 2000 to 8 million in 2015 (INEP 2000, 2015). Despite the efforts by the federal government and some state governments, this expansion didn’t introduce significant diversification on the Brazilian higher education landscape. Brazilian higher education is, traditionally, recognized in different institutional formats.
