This research had as objective to investigate how the knowledge and the knowledge in the administration graduation of the federal universities of Minas Gerais arise and are legitimized. In an attempt to respond to this objective, a course characterization was carried out, the knowledge conveyed in the curricular matrix was investigated and the production of truths at the undergraduate level was analyzed. The methodological approach chosen for this study was that of the qualitative research through the technique of content analysis. The data were produced through the analysis of a set of 13 (thirteen) pedagogical projects. As results, the objectives of critical and reflexive thinking, the field of performance and technical qualification, the responsible and generalist profiles and the methods of transmission, practice and knowledge construction were identified.
