The graduate programs in Brazil have shown numerical growth and its evaluation system is approved by the
national and international academic community. However, even
with the growth and improvement of Brazilian graduate programs, the country has continental dimensions and coexists with
regional asymmetries. Additionally, until nowadays has not been
presented a comprehensive study on the variations in the distribution and growth of graduation programs by small geographic
regions in Brazil. This study consists of a graduate program
mapping by mesoregions, and the meta-model elaborated here
aims to map the existing asymmetries in Education in the country
to respond to scientific and technological development.
