Studies in Business Administration, and more specifically those concerned to discuss the challenges of education in Business Administration, has sought in recent years to understand the methodologies adopted for the development of educational strategies that enable a more critical reflection to the administrator, especially in relation to sustainability. In this scenario, this thesis concerned to understand how teaching happens from the viewpoint of students in Business Administration. This course focus on sustainability approach as stated in its Political Pedagogical Project Course. This is a basic interpretive qualitative research (MERRIAM, 1998) that aims to understand the views of Business Administration students in respect of sustainability. The research takes the evidences that direct these views based on the principles of transformative learning theories Jack Mezirow (1981, 1991, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998) with contributions from Cranton (1994, 1996), critical reflection and engagement (Springett, 2003, 2005) geared towards sustainability (STERLING, 2001, 2010). The survey results indicate the relationship to the theory when it points different areas of learning and reflexivity by the students. Moreover, it indicates that students recognize a classic approach of theoretical contents, leading to an understanding too centered on content rather practical experience since social action spaces are not made to the scope of transformative learning by the University. Students who declare formal or informal experiences, previous or parallel to the experience in the classroom are excluded from this survey. The survey results point to the existence of an ideological struggle to address the issue of sustainability, which in the context of post-modernity, it becomes even more challenging, complex and contradictory. This work outlines Educational Development Strategies contributions consistent with the development of critical reflection on the part of the Administration students, also highlighting the importance of consistency between what is made in the classroom and what presents the Political-pedagogical Project of the Course in Business Administration.
