The aim is to analyze the expansion of graduate courses in federal universities in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul in the context of the expansionist policies implemented in the universities since 2003. The analyzes were carried out in the light of the area's literature, documents and official statistics, which were based on Bourdieu's notions of countryside, symbolic capital and habitus. As a result, it was observed that the expansion of post-graduation was due to the combination of inductive government policies - with a certain recovery of the IFES, especially in terms of teaching quantity - of induction actions by university managers and of the teaching action itself, particularly due to the maintenance of postgraduate habitus. This movement led to the expansion of postgraduate studies at the federal universities of MS, although institutional agents still need to consolidate their qualitative expansion, since they have restricted circulation in the field of national / international graduate studies. In terms of instances of power, there is a low participation of these in decision-making bodies of CAPES - and in terms of capital of intellectual prestige, there is a low participation in defense boards of graduate programs from other universities and low intellectual production in journals of the highest strata of Qualis. This situation, deepened by the CAPES evaluation model, could only be minimized with more effective policies to combat regional asymmetries in qualitative terms capable of inducing the circulation of the graduate field in all units of the federation, including with a greater insertion of these agents in the decision-making bodies of the research and evaluation management bodies.
