Environmental science is relatively recent in the epistemological and methodological scenario of the sciences considered traditional (Exact, Human and Nature), as well as the undergraduate courses that carry this nomenclature. Due to the recent performance of these courses in Brazil, and the absence of Basic Curricular Guidelines (BCG) for this course, this work aims at a comparative curricular analysis of the Environmental Science courses in Brazil. The disciplines, their workloads and approaches were compared between universities and in the different areas of knowledge according to CNPq. It was observed that the hours varied between the ten universities that offer the course, both the total workload, from 4012 hours (Unifesp) to 2400 (UFMG), as well as the hourly loads of the disciplines in the large areas, showing the differences of approaches Of universities. With this analysis it can be understood that despite the absence of the BCG, there is a similarity regarding the large areas of knowledge addressed, and the profile of the egress who seeks to have an interdisciplinary formation with transdisciplinary approaches, and the differences between the universities also Showed important in such a way that they show their singularities and focuses following precisely the proposal of flexibilization of the Law of Directives and Bases of National Education (LDB).
