Course names as the census records them. “Abi” is a common entry programme whose students choose a degree later.
Fees and admission
Federal and state institutions charge no tuition for undergraduate courses — that is in Brazil's constitution — and the census marks each course as free or not. Private institutions set their own fees, which the census does not record. Admission to public universities is mostly through the national ENEM exam and SISU; cut-off scores are not in the census, but the ministry's Sisu cut-offs for the participating public institutions are in the matcher.
