In spite of the existence of countless policies assuring impaired students access to the regular educational process, barriers are found preventing the consolidation of the mentioned process. The professor educational background is pointed out as an expressive cause to the failure of the student in the educational process. So far, the objective of the present research was to analyze the professor educational background concerning visually impaired people within the university system. The present theme is relevant considering that few studies have been dedicated to the inclusion process at advanced education. In order to understand the teaching process as a unique and diverse phenomenon, the methodology applied was qualitative and five professors, teaching Biological Sciences - graduated from a public university in the southern of Minas Gerais, were selected. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the subjects of the research, with a view to assess the professor's training and teaching experience towards students with visual impairments. The end results evidenced that countless barriers are found in the inclusion process, mainly due to the flaws on the academic background process besides the professor's attitude in the classroom.
