Arguably, the computing has become one of the most importantareas in the world, demanding more and more skilled labor. In thisdirection, higher education plays an important role in the trainingof professionals that supply the market demand. To measurethe education quality of these professionals, the Enade evaluatesthe undergraduate’s performance from all higher education institutionsin Brazil. However, only a few studies have explored theinformation provided by the exam and its surveys. Based on the2017 Enade edition, this paper identifies the socio-economic profilesof undergraduate candidates in several computing courses inthe southern region of Brazil. As results, we found out that thecomputing student socio-economic profile consists of white people,male, between 18 and 26 years old and family income of 3 to 6minimum wages. Also, most students have no scholarship, theirparents attended up until high school, the high school completedin public school, and study in the night shift of private institutions.This work summarizes student’s profiles, enabling managers ineducation to introduce new policies to improve higher education.
