Abstract

High-impact university entrepreneurship requires stimulating experiential learning and strengthening the curriculum related to entrepreneurship. It is necessary to move from theory to the creation of enterprises. The problem is the gaps for this to happen, which is evident when comparing institutional entrepreneurship programs of public universities in developing countries with universities in developed countries. Therefore, the purpose is to identify gaps between university programs of experiential entrepreneurship training in developed countries versus the reality of a developing country. For this purpose, a rubric for the competitive evaluation of experiential entrepreneurship programs was constructed. Competitive factors among university entrepreneurship programs are addressed, comparing the structural capabilities and the effectiveness of their processes in leading entrepreneurial universities. In this case, the Entrepreneurship Institutional Program of the Universidad del Valle (Colombia) was compared with three entrepreneurship programs of public universities located in the USA and Canada based on the framework proposed by Fjeld's study and supported by the latest edition of the QS World University Rankings 2023. The results show that learning activities are highly affected by practical experience, which strengthens the increase of skills and competencies of the entrepreneur, and it is also determined that the entrepreneurship program at the university under study must close gaps in some factors compared if it seeks to articulate with the new training policies and experiential work for the promotion of entrepreneurship skills.
