The main objective of this paper is to analyze DMUs efficiency from the perspective of variable returns to scale. Thus, a case study is proposed, where the efficiencies of DMUs suffer variation according to the methods used in the analysis. The classic models of DEA, CCR and BCC, and a new model proposed by the authors, will have their results compared to classical foundations of the economy. The case study will examine the efficiency of administrative units selected of Undergraduate Higher Education
