Abstract

Currently, entrepreneurship has become increasingly prominent in Brazil and in the world, demanding from individuals a series of skills to successfully develop it in society. This implies the need to include this theme in undergraduate courses, including Psychology. This article aims to investigate the role of national curriculum guidelines for Psychology courses as documents that describe and support the development of entrepreneurial behavior in universities. The adopted methodology is based on documental research with the analysis of the National Curriculum Guidelines of the Psychology course n°5, of March 15, 2011. The analyzes showed the DCNs as the core of the performance in teaching centers, as well as an important advance with clear passages that show the importance of entrepreneurial education. At the same time, it leaves important reflections on the need for constant updates and revisions, bearing in mind the existence of gaps with regard to the training of entrepreneurs in universities.
