The present study discussed the presence and quality of the debate about racial relations in a Psychology undergraduate course at Salvador-Bahia. Its objective was also to know the perceptions of black Psychology students about the racial relations debate in their courses and its repercussions. The qualitative study method embraced a bibliographic review and a field research. A questionnaire to select the participants was applied, and nine students were interviewed, for they identified themselves as black. The interviews were recorded in audio, transcribed, and their content was analyzed. As a result, it was observed that racial relation debate has been occurring at the undergraduate level, however still in a punctual and shy manner, many times related to individual initiatives taken by a few professors, which have sensibility for the theme. The conclusion leads to the necessity of intensifying discussions about racial relations in the Psychology undergraduate level and performing further studies.
