The research was conducted at the Faculty of Administrative Sciences (FCA) of the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC), Mexico. From a quantitative perspective we analyzed competitiveness of the mentoring program. The purpose of this study is to determine if the student knows the mentoring program, whether from his view, it: helps you adapt to the academic environment, facilitates the transition from high school to professional, college life reports, guidance on the curriculum provides information on teachers, describes the school facilities and discloses the academic regulations.
