The aim of this study is to analyze the Pedagogical Projects of the Psychology Courses (PPC) in cities of a medium, small to medium, and small size located in the country, considering the context of expansion and interiorization of formation in the last decade. This was a document study, based on the analysis of 20 PPC, based on the following axes: profile and location of courses, general characterization of the PPC, curriculum/ modules emphasis, and practice fields. The courses are distributed in at least 12 Brazilian States, 30% being in medium-size cities, 45% in medium to small size cities, and 25% in small size cities. The courses are closer to rural contexts, as a singular space through a multiplicity of forms of diversity with the urban world, which demands major sensitivity to answer to the complexity and heterogeneity that is typical of the rural environment and its population in Brazil.
