Abstract

From a very early age, the individual is exposed to a series of situations relationated finances. These situations get most commons when the individual understand about your purchase power that allow the access to products and services. With little or no discussion on the topic of Financial Education at teaching institutions it is not possible to pass on to students the importance of responsibly managing the resources obtained during life. Given this context, the main objective of the work is to present how the Financial Education topic is present in Federal College Education Institutions responsible for training professionals in Administration. For the elaboration of this research, the descriptive method was used and quantitative analysis was used for approach purposes. The results showed that, of the 46 curriculums of the Administration courses that were analyzed, only one curriculum presented a subject exclusively focused on Financial Education. It is observed the absence or non-existence of the topic considered in an effective and primary way in the training of the administrator, as a mandatory or elective subject, or even as an integral topic in the syllabus of the subjects.The research contributes to the subject being debated and gaining more notoriety within the Federal Universities and by the population in general, since Financial Education has great relevance in the lives of academics who will in the future enter the labor market in search of remuneration for services that will provide. So, it is necessary for them to know how to control their finances to ensure their well-being and quality of life. The research points out that the degree of application of the Financial Education theme in the Administration courses offered by the Federal Universities is quite precarious, since there is not good information’s quantity on the subject present in the curriculums.
