El articulo presenta las principales tendencias de la expansion de la educacion superior en Brasil, entre 1995 y 2010, a partir de cuatro ejes. En primer lugar, se expone el cuadro de la progresiva privatizacion, tanto en lo que respecta al crecimiento de las instituciones privadas, como a la mercantilizacion de las instituciones publicas. Se presenta, enseguida, la expansion promovida por el gobierno federal, analizando, en particular, el Programa de Apoyo al Plan de Reestructuracion y Expansion de las Universidades Federales (REUNI). Se discute, como tercera tendencia, el cuadro de la expansion de la ensenanza a distancia y, finalmente, se debate el crecimiento de posgrado, con la redefinicion de sus rumbos hacia la produccion de conocimiento direccionado a las empresas. Se concluye que, en todos estos campos, cambios sustanciales fueron inducidos, bajo la regencia de un ideario que apela a una economia de mercado, racionaliza el gasto publico basado en un sistema de asociacion entre el Estado y el mercado y suprime varios derechos y conquistas sociales transmutados en servicios, que se rigen por un intenso proceso de mercantilizacion.
