Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze and discuss the institutional and academic profile of the Brazilian State Universities (UEs) upon theoretical discussion and data analysis, considering the institutional and normative classification criteria for universities. In addition to the introduction, this study is divided into three sections that articulate between each other in the analysis and discussions: a) evaluation of the institutional and academic profile of the Estate Universities (UEs) according to the approach proposed by Steiner (2006); b) evaluation of the institutional and academic profile of the UEs according to one of the classification proposals presented by Nunes, Carvalho and Albrecht (2009); c) analysis of the institutional characteristics of the UEs of the country, considering the parameters established by Resolution No. 03/2010 of the National Council of Education, which defines the minimum criteria for a Higher Education Institution (IES) to be accredited/re-accredited as a university. The criteria defined by this resolution include those provided in the Federal Constitution of 1988 (CF 1988) and in the Law of Directives and Bases of National Education (LDB/1996). From a methodological aspect, the study is characterized as documentary and bibliographic. It is based on the examination of documents and intellectual production pertinent to the theme, as well as the evaluation and processing of data available on the websites of the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep) and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes). It is concluded that regarding the analysis of the academic characteristics of the UEs and according to the institutional and normative classification criteria, it was possible to observe the existence of considerable asymmetries between the UEs of the country.

Keywords : State universities; academic diversity; classification.
