This study aimed to investigate how the symbolic violence exercised by public universities in offering bachelor’s and teaching degree programs influences the advancement of the financialization of private higher education in the intermediate region of Cáceres-MT. It is a qualitative research study with quantitative elements, based on data from the Higher Education Census and the 2022 Demographic Census, made available by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), respectively. The analysis of the documents revealed that financial institutions and private higher education institutions began offering various forms of financing for enrollment in undergraduate and postgraduate programs, which resulted in a significant increase in the enrollment of new students.
