Objective: To analyze the insertion of elderly care in undergraduate nursing courses at public and private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Paraná. Method: This is a descriptive, exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, which used document analysis. The identification of HEIs and undergraduate courses was carried out through access to the Ministry of Education's online platform and, later, to the official pages of the HEIs to identify content related to gerontological care. The menus were analyzed by the R IraMuTeQ® Interface Software. Results: 60 HEIs were identified and information was obtained from 52 courses. Of these, 53.9% offered specific subjects on elderly health and 46.1% had mixed subjects. In the similarity analysis, the main organizing axes were: elderly, nursing and process. Conclusion: Just over half of nursing courses address elderly care in specific disciplines. Training must be aligned with care policies for the elderly.
