- Abstract
The Distance Learning (DL) has in Pilot Course of Management an important initiative for dissemination in the country. This is configured in a consortium of 25 Higher Education Institutions (HEI), supported by the MEC, by the Open University of Brazil (UAB) and the Bank of Brazil (BB). This paper seeks to understand the process of institutionalization in this UFRN, identifying key actions isomorphic with a view to its legitimacy. We adopted a qualitative research, although techniques have been added as survey statistics, Anova N factors and the Tukey test. The survey showed that HEIs working with distance education does not constitute an organizational field and the creation and the establishment of the Course in the UFRN isomorphic pressures were coming from outside, but only the internal variables positively influence the institutionalization of the course.
