Therefore, exploratory research was made, in which a search was carried out, regarding the number of subjects offered that addressed the study of an individual's Financial Education in courses offered by UFMS. Therefore, secondary data was used, available on the websites of the respective courses. The search for these subjects was carried out with the Pedagogical Course Project – PPC –, a document updated in 2023. Were identified 37 disciplines that could contribute in some way to the knowledge of financial management. Among these subjects, only two deals specifically with financial education, being Financial Education and Behavioral Economics, on the Naviraí campus, and Financial Education, on the Paranaíba campus. As expected, the university has a low supply of subjects in each management course present on its campuses, that can contribute to the high number of defaulters and debtors residing in the state.
