Changes have been taking place in Brazilian higher education. The ideal of universal literacy was extended and the expectation is that everyone has access to college education. In Brazil a gap developed between graduate and undergraduate education where the first being necessarily smaller enjoys higher quality. Undergraduate courses show a registration of more than six hundred thousand students. The gap and its reasons are explored and suggestions are advanced for filling it. The article ends with a presentation of the efforts of ANPAD- The Brazilian Academy of Management through its programs for Faculty Training in Administration and Management to make graduate programs more sensitive to teaching needs without loosing the existing focus on research and publications.
