| Summary: | The  competitive  job  market  and  the  pursuit  for  knowledge  attract  new  graduates  and  graduated professionals to specialize through specialization courses. However, the significant  increase  in  th e  number  of  institutions  offering  this  type  of  service  makes  studies  about  education marketing a necessary tool for attracting students. In this sense, the main objective  of  the  present  study  is  to  identify  the  features  that  lead  the  students  of  a  private  higher  education  institution  of  the  city  of  Piracicaba  to  choose  their  specialization  courses.  For  this  purpose  a  descriptive  survey  was  carried  out  with  a  quantitative  approach,  by  means  of  applying   a   questionnaire   collecting   motivating   factors   of   communi cation,   quality   and  convenience, e and questioning the demand for other institutions. The results indicate that the  students  who  affirmed  comparing  the  institution  and  its  courses  with  others  offered  in  the  market made their decisions based on the three ty pes of motivational attributes studied. That  is,  students  seek  a  combination  of  good  information,  quality  and  convenience  to  define  their  choices.  On  this  basis,  the  results  can  help  the  definition  of  higher  education  institution  strategies in terms of edu cation marketing and competitive politics. |
