The object of study of this article are the university institutions of the State of Paraná and aims to analyze the training and performance of course coordinators. It is argued that the coordination of undergraduate courses in universities should include training that contributes to democratic management, which becomes fundamental in the context of the political and economic transformations that have been implemented in the last decades in the country, with emphasis on managerial management. Preserving the institutions whose existence is fundamental to democracy in the country is fundamental, especially in these times when a crisis of democracies is underway. For that, a research with a qualitative approach was developed, through analysis of current legislation on higher education, data from the Higher Education Census and questionnaire application to course coordinators. Data on the characteristics of universities and aspects related to continuing education and to the performance and choice of course coordinators are presented, including an analysis of democratic management.

Keywords : university; educational management; continuing education.
