The higher education in Brazil carries a structure that privileges the interests of the bourgeoisie and excludes students from the working-class. In this way, the elitism that is a striking element in the Universities, has also characterized Psychology Education throughout its history. Thus, this work aims to analyze the scenario of Psychology Education in Brazil, in the context of the democratization of Higher Education. For this, an investigation was carried out using public domain information located in a database of the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the National Institute of Educational Research AnÝsio Teixeira (INEP). The results show that Psychology courses are geographically distributed in a heterogeneous way in the Brazilian regions, and that the profile of the students has shown changes concerning ethnic issues, the number of students benefited by scholarships and financing, besides showing that the graduation in Psychology is constituted by student workers, female, white and young adult students.
