As a result, was noticed that, despite the great diversity of technological axes, a choice of course format rules and entrepreneurship is present in 100% of the courses of 75% of the axes. However, the main approach presents exclusively business, which does not observe social, human and environmental issues Considering the main dissemination and typification used to approach entrepreneurship, the discussion of the topic is considered relevant, aiming formation of more responsible people towards the social, ecological and economic.
