The growth of higher education in Brazil presents significant numbers, especially by the participation of the private sector. The graduate courses of Physical Education integrate this context when presenting approximately a four hundred percent (400%) of growth. In this direction the biggest challenge is to adjust offers to the maintenance of the quality. As in other areas the solution it has been the governmental regulation through processes of evaluation of institutions, courses and students. However, in this period the area itself suffered great transformations as the professional regulation, the sprouting of new areas of performance, the creation of the Physical Education Council and finally changes in the national curricular guidelines that still presents a lack of definitions. In this scene of huge transformation, the governmental evaluation to give license of new courses and renewal the license for the existing courses, already needs to be analyzed carefully through of an extensive process of dialogue between all the involved ones in the courses of graduation in Physical Education.
