Abstract

This article describes the reality of master’s programs in education in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Current changes in Bolivian higher education are analyzed from a socio-cognitive and structural approach. Based on the works of Lent, Cabrera, Tinto Pascarella and Terenzini, university trajectories, postgraduate educational itineraries, and transition and expectancy theories are analyzed. A quantitative method was used to define the features of the data collection instrument and process. The results reveal that academic background, choice of degree and the achievement of objectives are key in structuring postgraduate trajectory processes.
