摘要：The perception of the importance of the education in process of development
process has motivated the appearance of techniques that allow to quantify and to qualify the
educational systems. The Brazilian public administration is looking for mechanisms to include
prospective students in the education system. A form of inclusion is to reduce the cost of the
monthly fees in the private Universities. An efficient allocation of resources is an important way
to reduce the costs. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the administrative units of a private
university using the data envelopment analysis. This is a mathematical linear programming
technique and it has been used to evaluate the relative efficiency of public and private administrative
units. The results allow the elaboration of a relative efficiency curve among the most
efficient units and the identification of those units that are below the referred curves. It allows to suggest possible solutions for raising the efficiency.
