In this article, we analyzed the expansion form of distance graduation courses in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), such as: to characterize some kinds of graduation courses which are offered in distance modality in public and private institutions, in MS; To verify the access and the equity of offering the courses in different knowledge areas. We carried out, until now, two stages of this research, including the surveying of the expansion of distance graduation courses in Brazil and in Mato Grosso do Sul, from 2000 to 2012, through analysis of data from Superior Education Census, normative acts, information in official bases from MEC and institutions data. It is assumed that the analyzed expansion is conditioned by the macroeconomic aspects and by the organization form of Brazilian State, according to the determinations of the capital. The achieved results point to the fact that the access to graduation courses was effectively instituted, with the offer of the courses in all micro regions of the state of MS, but the form more effective, in private institutions and focus on a few knowledge areas, which does not characterize the effective democratization of the access.
