The objective of this study was to know the perception of Business Administration students (PAE) on the importance and development of competencies in entrepreneurship. The semi-structured survey technique was applied to a sample of 73 % of the students of the professionalization and deepening cycle. Descriptive and correlation analysis was used. In order of importance, the following capacities were determined: detection of opportunities to undertake new businesses, development of new products, analysis of information for decision making, identification and optimization of business opportunities. The average rating was 3.7 (on a scale of 1.0 to 5.0), which places the training at a medium level (scale: low, medium, high). These results were consistent with the national trend.
