Teaching Organizational Studies (OS) in Management is based on the economic, political, and socio-cultural changes that determined special ideologies and points of view that shape the field. The teacher has autonomy to organize, develop and evaluate this teaching, but this autonomy is limited by the knowledge, habits, skills and values experienced in their teaching practice, which are heavily influenced by institutional contingencies. There is, therefore, no doubt that the curriculum is a social construction. An examination of how OS is taught in nine graduate degree programs in Brazil was proposed, in order to build this reality. To this end, we carried out exploratory, qualitative research through documentary analysis of curricula and teaching plans of seventeen graduate professors, as well as semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that the teaching of OS: is not determined solely by the professors, but built in conjunction with their peers; is constituted of the structural axis of the Masters’ degrees; has knowledge that is basically grouped in three organizational forms (historic, by topic or dialogues); has a diversity of academic and interdisciplinary faculty that reflects the diversity of the authors referenced.
