This paper aims to present and analyze information about the profile of freshmen and senior college students on the Initial Teacher Training courses in Sciences and the full qualification major in Chemistry at Ceará State University (UECE) from its creation in 1976 until 2018.This research uses a case study of the unique, integrated type, after analyzing quantitative data on the six UECE campi that offer these courses. The student career was mapped by analyzing these data, contained in the Excel spreadsheet provided by the Information department of the institution. Filters were applied to the data, and analysis using descriptive statistics. The results show that these courses suffer from problems that affect the area of Sciences and Mathematics in relation to the difficulty of educating teachers. There is evidence of high dropout rates, surpassing those of the graduates, both in the initial teacher training course and in the subsequent period. However, a change is seen in the profile of demand for initial training, with the percentage of women on the current course overtaking that of men. Changes are also seen in the cartography of the offer, with an increase in internalization after the graduation.
