This article presents and analyzes the results, for Colombia, of a crosscultural research study of entrepreneurial intentions conducted between Gasse and Tremblay (2009) at the University of Laval in Canada and professors at Icesi University, based on a review of samples of students from Canada, France, Tunisia, and Colombia. In the case of Colombia, a review was conducted of the perceptions, values, and attitudes of undergraduate students taking mandatory and elective Entrepreneurship courses at Icesi University in the first semester of 2009. The results make it possible to evaluate the students’ behaviors in relation to the entrepreneurial process and provide the basis of conclusions relative to the educational process implemented at Icesi University.

Keywords : Entrepreneurship; entrepreneurial education; entrepreneurial intention; entrepreneurial competencies.
