SUMMARY:

This dissertation evaluates the influence of infrastructure management on the quality of education services offered by the Center of Applied Social Sciences (CCSA) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, from 2003 to 2023. The evaluation carried out describes the main educational services offered by the CCSA and its academic quality indicators; presents the Center's infrastructure and its governance structure; identifies the management practices adopted in the area of infrastructure; verifies the contributions of infrastructure management practices to the academic quality of undergraduate courses; and diagnoses the barriers faced by infrastructure management for the quality of undergraduate courses. For this purpose, an exploratory-  escriptive research was carried out with a qualitative approach, whose data were collected adopting the technique of documental research and interviews, and were analyzed through content analysis. From this research, it is considered that the academic quality of the CCSA undergraduate courses, expressed by the Ministry of Education (MEC) evaluations, shows strong indications that it has been positively influenced by the infrastructure management of the CCSA, which carried out an expressive set of practices aimed at guaranteeing good conditions of spaces and equipment, even in face of the barriers, such as the budgetary difficulties faced by public institutions of higher education in the country. However, the existence of courses with different quality evaluations was observed, even using the same infrastructure, revealing that other indicators have influenced more or less the quality of the undergraduate courses investigated. At last, recommendations are presented to minimize the barriers encountered with a view to contributing to the improvement of infrastructure management and to the academic quality of CCSA undergraduate courses
