For this, the survey method is used, making use of a questionnaire divided into three blocks, trying to trace the student's profile, measure the importance given by him about Environmental Accounting and his level of knowledge on this topic. The questionnaire was applied online to accounting students enrolled in the semester of 2019.2. The results indicated that most students are interested in taking the Environmental Accounting discipline if it is offered, in addition to attaching great importance to topics related to it. However, the students presented a low level of knowledge regarding the themes related to Environmental Accounting, which may be a reflection of the little importance given by teachers about Environmental Accounting, according to the students.
