The coordinator's figure has existed since the 1960 in Brazilian higher education, but only from the 9.394/96 law, that the course coordinator took a key role in the management of undergraduate courses. Another factor that relates the role of the coordinator was the implementation of public policies for higher education evaluation in the mid-1990 and the transformations that led to diversification and differentiation of higher education in Brazil, Setting up restructuring with neoliberal bias. From bibliographic research, documentary analysis and participant observation, our work discusses the role, profile and challenges of the course coordinator as an academic manager, identifying management models at a public university and in a private university.Key-words: course coordinator; graduation course management; management models.
