In the development of the work, the first part presents a discussion about the graduation of teachers and about the graduation of the professionals to the companies. In the second part it is told the history of the post graduation in Brazil, and finally, it is described the flexibility of the post graduation strictu sensu which allowed the creation of the professional master course.
