This work presents a model to evaluate perceptions about the impact of professional masters program (PMP) on the performance of graduate students. The method proposed was applied using a questionnaire, based on a literature review, in order to collect the perceptions of four groups: students, company managers, faculty members, and coordinators of PMP in the Engineering III area according to CAPES. Among other relevant results, the present application highlighted the criteria based on the highest performance and importance levels. The company managers expressed more optimistic views about the impact of the Professional Masters on the graduate students' performance, and the faculty members were more demanding. Besides contributing for the construction of indicators to evaluate the impacts of PMP on those students, this research supports course coordination decisions related to the program's improvement.
