This research aimed to investigate the place of social policies in Psychology undergraduation programs in Piauí/Brazil. A documental study was made by analysing the pedagogical project of the course (PPC) in four universities. The social policies appear in the PPC related to the student profile, curricula emphasis, subjects and internships, albeit in a peripheral condition. Furthermore, disconnection between proposed profile and the curriculum, fragmentation and insufficient content about social policies, and predominance of the clinical area were perceived in these institutions. It is noteworthy that health policies stand out in PPC. The paper discusses the need of the presence of social policies in the education of psychologists in Piauí in order to improve the subjects articulation, assuming a central, critical and polical perspective.
