Administration coursesthe public dimension as an excluded subject

Resumo

This article analyzes the presence of comprehensive knowledge on public administration in a business administrator’s education. It is believed that the expansion in Administration education, in Brazil, has provided university education with a very significant role in the professional practice and in the promotion of citizenship. It is also shown how, over the years, the importance of the public sphere has grown in the economic domain and the relations between sectors have increased. The associations between the private sector and the State, through grants, partnerships, and non-State public arrangements have been developed, in addition to what has been historically established, as the State’s role, such as public policies and the promotion of development. In this environment, public knowledge and ethos are a need regarding a business administrator’s education. By means of this preamble, methodologically, the curricula of 16 undergraduate courses of the most significant Higher Education institutions were examined, located in Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, besides a documentary analysis of the guidelines and resolutions from the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the National Council for Education in the Administration Field. The results reveal a poor attention paid to such relevant aspects, both by MEC and the institutions.
