Abstract

Higher education and its administrative organization in general are still obscure to some despite its growing number of entrants. This study addresses how public administration in the educational area is organized, focusing on the higher education accounting course. Among the bodies that make up the educational administrative organization of higher education is the National Education Council (CNE), which is responsible for defining the curricular organization of higher education courses. The study aims to verify whether three universities in Baixada Santista are adequately meeting the requirements set forth in the national curricular guidelines for the undergraduate degree in accounting through exploratory research. The accounting course was chosen based on its demand by students according to data from SEMESP. The study concluded that there are particularities among the curricula, but all the universities studied are in accordance with the guidelines established by the National Education Council.
