| Summary: | This paper presents the result of an effort to implement shared courses among several undergraduate Programs at UNIVATES - University Center, in order to contribute to their sustainability. In order to reach that goal a qualitative research was carried out, which encompassed literature review, documental review and interviews with the different actors involved in offering undergraduate programs as wel l as with staff of the Institution ́s accounting department. Pedagogical projects of the Programs were analyzed seeking to identify similarities among them which would ensure a greater possibility to share courses. After passing through several stages, it was possible to present a proposal that allowed the establishment of mandatory courses for all Programs, so that UNIVATES ́ graduates would carry its mark; and common compulsory courses within areas of knowledge enabled the rise of the contribution margi n by four percentage points, thus meeting the proposed research goal.
