This research aims to analyze the perception of the students of the eighth semester of the Bachelor's Degree in Accounting assigned to the Universidad Veracruzana on the educational experience of environmental accounting taken in the February-July 2023 semester. In this cross-sectional quantitative study, applied a questionnaire to 237 students. The instrument consists of Likert scale responses constructed with the content of the theoretical knowledge of the environmental accounting subject. The results show that the majority of students consider that it is important both for their professional training and for their job performance to take the subject of environmental accounting. Identifying results on the application of environmental accounting in the educational environment as part of the training of an accounting graduate dictates the originality of this study, since training students with an environmental perspective contributes to having a professional with a vision consistent with conservation and care. of natural resources, therefore, knowing their perception from an accounting perspective is a step towards sustainable development. As future research, it is sought that the instrument be applied after a year after the students have graduated to identify the impact on the labor field, since it is concluded that the future graduate in accounting, being trained with an environmental vision, demonstrates the maturity of environmental accounting, which contributes to the sustainable development of society.
