ARIOVALDO, THAINARA CRISTINA DE CASTRO  and  NOGUEIRA, CLÁUDIO MARQUES MARTINS. SISU AND THE CHOICE OF DEGREE PROGRAMS AT THE UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE VIÇOSA. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.32, e06763.  Epub July 21, 2021. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v32.6763.

The objective of this study is to analyze how the Sistema de Seleção Unificada (Unified Selection System - Sisu) affected the choice of higher education programs at the Universidade Federal de Viçosa, mainly examining the degree programs that had the greatest increase in the candidate to vacancy ratios, after the implementation of this new selection mechanism. Initially, data from the institution on competition, selectivity, and vacancy occupation of all the programs at the Viçosa, MG campus were analyzed, and then the data collected by means of questionnaires answered by students of the degree programs. The results demonstrate that the Sisu influences students’ choices, making them more strategic, and that social and educational inequalities continue to delimit the choices that are possible for each candidate.

Keywords : SELECTIVE PROCESS; ACCESS TO EDUCATION; HIGHER EDUCATION; DEGREE PROGRAMS.
