Abstract
The objective of this research work was to examine the relevance of the competences acquired by the students of the business administration program. For the process, we worked with population census sampling; which was made up of 21 business administration students from the ninth semester of the University of Cartagena. The data was obtained through a documentary review and the application of a survey for students and a discussion with businessmen and those responsible for the business practice area. The application of the survey allowed to evaluate the three dimensions about the competences (Human, Conceptual and Technical). As a result, it was obtained that, according to the students, they have a high level in the skills acquired, which are relevant to what is required by the labor market. However, the report by those responsible for the practice area and businessmen assure that the students present a low level in some competences. It is concluded that it is important for universities to consider the competencies that employers expressed with a low level, in order to improve the professional performance of students.
