Prepared by the teaching staff of the Department of Home Economics, the Bachelor's Degree Course in Hospitality at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) was established in 2010 as a result of the Support Program for Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Federal Universities (REUNI). After ten years of existence, this article aims to analyze the role of the Mandatory Supervised Internship (ECSO) in the Hospitality education at UFRRJ. The methodological approach is qualitative and quantitative, primarily mediated by the authors who are part of the rural course community. Primary data was collected through an electronic questionnaire administered to graduates who have completed the mandatory internship and graduated by the year 2017. The results of the statistical analysis of the primary data revealed the positive impact of ECSO on the formation of these graduates. On the other hand, negative impacts were discovered that intensify physical, social, and psychological strains regarding personal life, leisure, and the accumulation of tasks related to education. The concentration of the hotel industry in the state of Rio de Janeiro in the capital city, with emphasis on the southern zone of Rio de Janeiro, becomes a complicating factor in regard to the simultaneous completion of ECSO and other curricular obligations of the Hospitality Course at UFRRJ, located in Seropédica, a municipality in the Baixada Fluminense.
