The main objective of this article is to analyze the evaluation process of higher education courses in Brazil. The research methodology followed a descriptive and qualitative approach procedure, materialized by an analysis of the evaluation of courses, resulting from the National System of Evaluation of Higher Education (SINAES), followed by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP), responsible for the evaluation of these courses. The results obtained show that the evaluation of courses constitutes a means to ensure the quality of education, being a decisive factor in the improvement plans of higher education institutions in Brazil. The study also showed that quality, being a historically situated concept, is evaluated in each period in a different way, being, in this era of globalization, strongly associated with research, internationalization and market demands. These aspects are decisive factors in decision making for the evaluation of higher education courses.
