Sumario:The Brazilian higher education scenario has completely shifted with the entry, since 1997, of private companies that started acting in the segment with a focus on profit achievement. The goal of this article is understanding and analyzing the increased number of higher education institutions with a profit profile, being led by their chief executive officers (CEOs) and guiding their management by a financial logic (and not academic), as well as the impacts to the higher education segment. It is a bibliographic and documentary study to support the premises and conclusions proposed. It sought to demonstrate that education companies dominate Brazilian higher education, amassing enrollment and establishing, with no public debate, education policies.
