The objectives of this study are: to identify the major challenges in the actions of the course coordinators of private higher education institutions and provide suggestions for overcoming them; to diagnose the required competences to the coordinators of undergraduate courses. For that, it was adopted a qualitative approach of the information with characteristics of action-research. The three stages of this research were decisive for the collection, analysis and categorization of data, especially when the Meeting of the Course Coordinators was held in the second stage. The methodological procedures used consisted in document analysis, semi-structured interviews, questionnaire application, and partial transcription of the Meeting. The results of this study provide basis: to reveal the importance of the partnership between the Higher Education Institutions, to identify the profile of the University administrators, to identify ten challenges for the performance of the course coordinators, to offer suggestions to overcome them and the required competences to the course coordinators from the overview of the University Management actors. Thus, based on that context, the course coordinators may contribute to their Institutions in the attempt to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Education (SINAES) and the current scenario of Higher Education in Brazil. This work does not end the debate; on the contrary, it encourages the course coordinators to face new commitment challenges and to build up a training program, which may support new researches
