This study analyzed the student perception regarding the learning process in the academic educational environment of the Accounting course, under the Andragogy proposed by Knowles, Holton and Swanson (2011), comparing two higher education institutions, with a survey that has been applied for 148 students. In the data collection instrument, the scales of low, moderate and high agreement were used, through t-test. The results showed that the respondents of both institutions have a high understanding of the necessity to learn, consider themselves independent and responsible for the learning process, presented low and moderate agreement as planning their own studies and that they need other people’s support to learn and they accept new teaching methodologies. It is concluded that students are in the process of assimilating andragogical fundamentals when they identify learning as a pleasant experience, its utility to solve daily situations and commitment to their own studies.
