Evidences indicate that interdisciplinarity projects are rare on Business undergraduate courses in Brazil. Factorial analysis revealed high levels of correlation between data and from 17 variables meet them into two dimensions “organization” and “didatics”. Cluster analysis indicated that the group that presented more interdisciplinarity has deeper presence of articulation variable.
