Abstract:
This paper is a result of a research project which seeks to present the contribution of
interdisciplinarity to the development of knowledge in the Business Administration
Program of the Faculdade Batista Brasileira [Brazilian Baptist College], discussing its
contribution to the cultural enrichment of its students and to the integrated education
of the future administrator. Its title is presented as: The interdisciplinarity of higher
learning: a case study of the interdisciplinary project of the Faculdade Batista
Brasileira, specifically the Business Administration Program. It was developed having
as its methodology exploratory bibliographic research, studies of documents and the
case study. Its theoretical referential support in the area is with the goal of presenting
and discussing the guiding aspects of interdisciplinarity and its quest for overcoming
the fragmentation of knowledge. It seeks to analyze how this interdisciplinary
methodology is being used in the Business Administration Program of the Faculdade
Batista Brasileira, through analyzing the projects developed during the program by
the students and professors. Besides this it also deals with each one of the projects
developed during the semester in the program, analyzing them from an
interdisciplinary perspective, demonstrating the ever greater possibility of
constructing new paths of knowledge. The work ends with the comprehension that
interdisciplinary studies can generate new investigations and new ideas, depending,
as well, on the advancement itself of the disciplines which make up these studies.
