This article discusses the characteristics of gender culture that prevails in higher education institutions in the city of Chihuahua, Mexico, from the perspective of teachers. The methodology to achieve the purpose included documentary and field research, with qualitative techniques, namely: interviews with the personnel responsible for coordinating professional careers and an opinion poll of teachers. Both consultations discussed class dynamics, academic performance, limitations, and challenges, as well as the job prospect of students in careers considered female and male. Results show that there is gender equity concerning the number of students enrolled in higher educations. And also it is important to stress out that teachers and career coordinators state that when students determine which profession they are going to study, sociocultural gender stereotypes, which limit women development, prevail.

Palabras llave : gender studies; cultural identity; vocational decisions; female and male careers.
