This article aims to describe the research on the prevailing factors in students’ choice for Interdisciplinary Bachelors (BI) of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). For this study it was made an exploratory qualitative research that aimed to investigate if the choice for BI involved in a vocational pursuit and identify what factors motivated and influenced the choice for the courses. The study results showed the presence of a vocational/career indecision in students of Interdisciplinary Bachelors, as well as a more informal knowledge about the BI when joining in. On the other hand, the interviewed students indicated a prior interest in professional courses. Therefore this study may contribute to the strengthening and growth of cycles model purposed by BI at UFBA, since it shows its importance in offering a broader, interdisciplinary training and providing more time to vocational/career choice, which can contribute to more maturity in this choice.
