The present dissertation deals with the training processes and policies in masters programs in
communication in the northern region of the country, specifically in the Federal Public
Universities UFT, UFAM, UFPA based on the texts contained in the institutional websites
and the Quadrennial Evaluation carried out by CAPES. The main objectives were to analyze
how the curricular matrices of stricto sensu postgraduate courses in communication in the
northern region of Brazil are structured, observing the occurrence of changes over the years
and if they occurred, what motivation, and whether they are in line with the transformations
occurring in the world, in view of the growth of the internet and the new mechanisms that
have emerged for the exercise of the profession. For this purpose, the bibliographic research
was used, making a rescue on the history of postgraduate studies in Brazil, the creation of
CAPES and the transformations that occurred to improve higher education in the country, as
well as the mechanisms for monitoring the quality of the programs in operation, an analysis of
the evaluations carried out in recent years, which allowed us to perceive the still scarce
number of doctors and the same courses in the northern region of Brazil, which directly
implies difficulties and longevity of some programs in view of the difficulties of aligning
curricular matrices with the local reality. It is concluded that in the northern region, the
masters programs in communication are a combination of efforts for the provision of training,
which have a large faculty and sometimes can not meet what has been proposed, but which
amidst the difficulties seek to understand the and continue to operate and promote knowledge,
even if still very dissonant of the demands of the labor market, and the transformations that
have occurred in other countries that seek to combine quality training in a shorter time and
with the purpose of promoting development.
