The study of entrepreneurial behavior has identified different attributes or characteristics that make it up: the tendency to take risks and be creative, develop relationships and became effective in handling change as well to show determination, social sensitivity, personal and organizational development, among others. This descriptive study, aims to analyze the presence of entrepreneurial characteristics mentioned to further develop an entrepreneurial profile in the students who are about to complete their bachelor degree. Data were collected through a survey applied to 165 university students (men (36%) and women (64%) aged between 18 and 27 years old) randomly selected. To achieve the above objective a non-hierarchical K-means cluster analysis was conducted in which the level of entrepreneurship of the subjects was taken as an indicator. The results show that college entrepreneurs can be classified into two groups (P<.05|P= .000): the first group was characterized by showing few features attributed to entrepreneurs and the second group shows all characteristics attributed to entrepreneurs: they are creative people who generate ideas and carry out innovative activities tending to take risks in their work and all activities they do. The importance of this study resides in developing strategies that promote these entrepreneurial characteristics in university students.
