Abstract

The main objective of the study was to assess the levels of development of generic competences in the graduates of the degree in International Commerce in the virtual modality of the IPN. The type of research was a quantitative methodology with an exploratory cross-sectional design. The instrument that was used to obtain the information on the GCs developed was a questionnaire based on a Likert scale. It was found that the assessment of the participants on this type of competences has an interval based on a lower mean of 2.13 until a larger average of 3.71, where those that were identified with the lowest level of dominance were the ones related to the work in international contexts, second language communication skills and the ability to work as a team. The findings serve to support its virtual academic programs and thus increase its academic offer based on quality indicators that include not only graduates but also other educational actors such as teachers, managers and administrators as well as assessing the operation of the support infrastructure and equipment.
