Distance Education (EaD) is a rapidly growing modality in Brazil and around the world. Although it is not exactly new in our country, as it has existed since before 1960, it has had a significant expansion in recent years, especially in the private education sector. Distance learning enabled the expansion of Higher Education, contributing to its democratization through the internalization of courses.
However, it is necessary to pay attention to how this expansion took place, especially in relation to the quality of education offered. This work investigates the profiles of entrants and graduates of the Biological Sciences Degree course at the Cederj Consortium, Bom Jesus do europe mobile number list Itabapoana Center, a municipality in the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Two questionnaires were administered: one to graduates and the other to new students on the course, seeking to probe them regarding different socioeconomic aspects and also their professional lives. The majority of graduates only have a latu sensu specialization , however, a significant portion have a master's degree and/or are doctoral students. The majority of graduates work outside their area of training, and only four are teachers. All graduates considered the training offered by the course to be excellent, and that the course contributed to their professional performance.
The majority of entrants claim to have chosen the distance learning course because they believe in its quality. All participants have access to the internet, studied at a public school and the majority entered the course through their own entrance exam, without having taken a preparatory course before. Finally, all entrants state that they intend to complete the course. Keywords: EaD, biology, higher education, graduation, students.
