Abstract

In this research we analyze the extent of entrepreneurial competencies of the college students, as well as the role that play the teachers, so we can know whether the entrepreneurial attitude is encouraged among their students. The hypotheses about the competencies that students develop are contrasted by a sample of 315 students from a Mexican university. According to the results, it’s noticed that there is more probability of entrepreneurial intention in the students from the Faculty of Business Administration than there is in the students of Accounting. Also, the probability is higher in men than in women, and older students are more likely to become entrepreneurs.
