Globalization requires that graduates of higher education have skills that impact economic development. And one of the most appreciated skills today is social entrepreneurship. This research is preceded by the work titled University-based social entrepreneurship in Latin America, in which it was found that only 3.4 % of the 5243 students surveyed from 26 universities in 8 countries are leading some social entrepreneurship, this despite the fact that 62 % wants to. The purpose of the present study was to compare the results of the international context with the local one. For this, we started from the structural equations model used in the previous study. A questionnaire was applied to a sample of 301 students from the Unidad Académica de Contaduría y Administración of the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas. In the results it was found that only 0.7 % of them lead a social enterprise. It is concluded that much remains to be done by the educational institution, since the construct “Institutional support” did not contribute significantly to the entrepreneurial intention. Without a doubt, it is pertinent to generate actions that allow students to carry out projects and that these do not remain intentions.

Palabras llave : social entrepreneurship; leadership; university.
