Introduction: Over the past two decades, entrepreneurial competencies have become a strategic pillar in higher education, responding to the challenges of employability, innovation, and sustainability. However, the conceptual and methodological diversity with which these competencies are addressed calls for an integrative review. Objective: This article aims to critically analyze the current state of scientific production on entrepreneurial competencies in higher education, considering theoretical approaches, applied methodologies, and emerging thematic trends. Methodology: A selective systematic review was conducted on 50 academic articles published between 2010 and 2025, retrieved from indexed academic databases. A chronological, thematic, and bibliometric analysis was applied, complemented by analytical summaries for each article. Results: The results reveal a significant increase in recent scientific production, a predominance of quantitative studies and reviews, and a growing interest in topics such as digital competencies, entrepreneurial mindset, and sustainability. Conclusions: Gaps were identified in longitudinal studies and instrument validation in non-Anglophone contexts. This review contributes to conceptual clarification and guides future research and educational policy development.
