The objective of this research project is to expand the understanding of the perceptions and opinions of students regarding the teaching of ethics in administration schools. Based on a study performed with a group of students of a Business Administration undergraduate course, from a private school in Rio de Janeiro, this project aimed to investigate the students’ conception about the term Ethics, the importance they attach to the study of ethics and how the teaching of ethics should be carried out in business administration schools. The review deals with the definition of this construct and contributions of studies on the teaching of Ethics in administration. In order to achieve the proposed objective, it was used a qualitative approach, through seven focus groups, totaling 74 participants. The results showed the importance that students attach to the teaching of Ethics in the faculty of Business Administration, the emphasis on participatory teaching methods in an auspicious environment, and criticism to the approach taken by the faculty towards the teaching of Ethics. The conclusions point different paths for the teaching of Ethics within Business Administration faculties.
