Addressing the singularities of rural education is an urgent social act. Thus, this case study presents an analysis of how the process of social participation in the implementation of the undergraduate course in rural education at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) occurred. This is a qualitative research and to collect data, the following methods were used: bibliographical research, documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with six social actors directlyinvolved with the undergraduate course. As categories of analysis, we opted for the criteria for evaluating the democratic quality of participatory processes, by Castellà and Parés (2012), focusing on two dimensions: "Who participates?" and “What do they participate in?”. The results of the survey indicated that the criteria above had been contemplated when the course was implemented. However, it was observed that, currently, there is an estrangement of social movements in relation to the close monitoring of policies and actions inherent to the course.Key words: Social Management; Participation; Rural Education.
