The objective of this research was to identify the level of time management competence in students of a Public University located in the city of Navojoa Sonora. A quantitative methodology was used with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational and, comparative design to determine the level of time management competence in the students. Participants included 268 students from three educational programs 119 from the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education (LEI), 79 from the Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Finance (LEF) and, 70 from the Bachelor's Degree in Tourism Business Administration (LAET). We applied a version adapted and validated by García and Pérez (2012) of the Time Management Behavior Questionary (TMBQ) instrument. In addition the instrument collects information on some categorical variables with which models of analysis of variance were formulated to determine if they influence the level of time management. The results established that the average value of time management in students was 3.27, so it is located in the middle level (degree in training), the dimensions Time management tools and Perception of control over time are also located in this same level, given that they presented average values of 3.08 and 3.21; The dimensions Establishment of objectives and priorities and Preferences for the disorganization are located in the High level (superior) given that they presented average values of 3.42 and 3.40, respectively.
