The main purpose of this article is to identify the perception of the graduate program coordinators of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), concerning the multidisciplinarity of the programs coordinated by them. The work was a case study, characterized as exploratory and descriptive. The data were collected through documental research and a questionnaire. The data analysis was qualitative and quantitative. The results of the research allow us to conclude that most of the coordinators' answers match with the multidisciplinarity found and described in this research. Even so, it can be verified that in some programs there were discrepancies between the multidisciplinarity found and the multidisciplinarity noticed by the coordinators of the graduate programs at UFSC. It can also be verified that the multidisciplinarity is a principle seen as positive by most of the coordinators of the researched programs.
