AB The inclusion of competences related to sustainability and blue entrepreneurshipaligns with the 2030 Agenda, a global framework adopted by the United Nationsto promote sustainability through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Universities, as agents of change, must address socio-environmental problemsthrough research, education, innovation, collaboration, and sustainable practices,aiming for a positive societal and environmental impact. Through an R&D&I project under the Andalusian Plan for Research, Development, and Innovation conducted a study to diagnose the extent to which these competences are includedin the teaching programs of nine Andalusian public universities. Using a mixedmethodology, the study involved 22 teachers and analyzed 81 programs from 40university degrees. Results show statistically significant differences by universityand branch of knowledge, with Science and Engineering and Architecture incorporating these competences more extensively. The study indicates that sustainability is unevenly developed across universities, necessitating a review andmodernization of study programs to meet the objectives of the EntrepreneurshipPlan by the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities.
