| dc.description.abstract | The Educational Marketing of Higher Education Institutions should have the mission of knowing and understanding the real needs of those involved.

It is a qualitative research, having the case study as a methodology; is of a descriptive nature, in which the technique of data collection took place through documental research, observation and semi-structured interviews. As subjects, ten professionals of the Institution were surveyed, being managers, professors and technicians-administrative because they had the necessary information to discuss the results of the research and were part of the functional framework in the period from 2012 to 2016.

New courses were developed for the academic community: in 2012, the Institution started with the offer of three courses; by 2014, there were already seven.
