| Sumario: | This research will analyze the technical efficiency on academic master and doctorate courses offered by the Ceará Federal University in the years of 2010, 2011 and 2012, having as data base the indicators adopted by CAPES for the consolidation of its periodic evaluation prescribed by laws on post-graduate courses. As decision making tool, was chosen the mathematic technique of Data Envelopment Analysis – DEA, output oriented and under the perspectives of CCR and BBC models where every post-graduate program / course was considered a DMU. Comparing the inferences presented by both models, it could be observed a decreasing tendency of efficiency on courses throughout the investigation period, despite the input growth during this very same period, evidencing therefore, some discrepancies between the variants, mainly concerning academic specifications related to each DMU, also adding the lack of provision for doctoral courses in some study programs.
