Fatores influenciadores no ingresso na pós-graduação stricto sensu: um estudo com estudantes de Ciências Contábeis da UFPB

Abstract

After graduating from academic training, some students seek to improve their knowledge through the educational continuity obtained in Postgraduate Stricto Sensu Master and Doctorate programs. In this context, the present study aimed to investigate the personal, relational and institutional factors that influenced students of Accounting Sciences at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) when joining the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program in Accounting Sciences in that institution. The methodology adopted in the research was through a survey, with the application of a questionnaire with students and former students of the said graduate program. The main results demonstrate that the students' satisfaction with the resources, the institution and the vacancies offered for the Master and Doctorate courses proved to be satisfactory, demonstrating that the institution is working properly on the relationship and on its integration between the institution and the student, its main personal factors are related to personal growth, teaching and differentiation in the job market. It may be seen that the Postgraduate Stricto Sensu courses in Accounting Sciences at UFPB present a good scenario in front of the vision about the institution and the courses offered.
