The professionalization of the educational branch makes HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) seek information on attractiveness of their courses, that is, which factors are decisive for the choice of this institution. Thus, this study aims to identify the determining factors in the choice of students for post-graduation courses in a higher education institution. To meet the objective of a descriptive research with a quantitative approach was carried out in a higher education institution of Vitória,Espirito Santo, through the application of a questionnaire to 210 students in their first day of class in the graduate school. Data were analyzed using descriptive and multivariate statistics. The main results, which contribute positively to the attractiveness of the HEIs, are related to factors such as: the structure of the higher education institution, for example, campus security and the place of meal; update of the course, teachers with experience in the labor market and updating course subjects; and personal reasons, such as the location of the institution. These factors can be an important indicator for HEIs offering postgraduate course.Downloads
