Abstract

This paper aims at identifying how Brazilian undergraduate and graduate courses of public administration satisfy the expectations of public managers described by specialized literature. To this end, definition and role of public managers have been established, as well as a historical
trajectory of public administration in Brazil. Moreover, the profile and education which are considered by specialized literature to be most adequate for public managers have been analyzed. In order to achieve such purpose, a bibliographic and documentary survey has been carried out comparing the curriculum of courses from six Brazilian higher education institutions with data gathered from the literature. From this analysis, it can be concluded that there is a correspondence between the examined curricula and the specialized literature regarding the presence of disciplines concerning politics, human relations, financial management, economics and new technologies. A divergence could also be observed between this curriculum and the bibliography analyzed related to disciplines such as ethics, resource management, international
relations, innovation, strategy, change management, among others. Thus, it is expected that these points of divergence should serve as a basis for future discussions on the education of public managers.
