摘要：Purpose – This paper presents some results from a research study aimed to analyze the perceptions of two student samples from Uruguay and Spain regarding the inclusion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) contents within formal university academic programs. In doing that, a stakeholder perspective is assumed.Design/methodology/approach – A survey study was carried out in a public university in each country. The students recruited were asked to report their perceived and desired education regarding 17 indicators of firms’ responsibilities towards their stakeholders. Descriptive analyses and two multivariate analyses of variance were conducted with the data collected.Findings – Findings support the general idea that, independently of the country of residence, university students detect important shortages in the CSR education received, especially regarding the internal dimension of responsibility towards the employees and the external involvement in local, environmental and social problems.Research limitations/implications – Further research is needed in order to replicate these findings in different cultural and educational contexts, in order to refine the measures and prove their generalizing value.Practical implications – The results obtained point to the convenience of incorporating further transversal education on CSR, in order to provide students with a more complete vision of both internal and external dimensions of firms’ social responsibilities according to their future work demands.Originality/Value – The paper suggests the influence of higher education on the prevalent concept of CSR hold by university students in Uruguay and Spain, and identify some tips to make public universities more aware of the real necessity of updating academic programs according to society’s requirements at any moment
