The results showed moderate degrees of availability of the strategic palnning indicators and university performance. Regarding specialization variable, there were differences in the first instrument, whole scale, along with its mission and goals subscales. Additionally, there were differences in the second instrument whole scale and its all subscales in favor of students of administration. Concerning the educational level variable, there were differences in mission and goals subscales, and the second instrument whole scale and its all subscales, in favor of post-graduate students. Regarding the interaction level interaction, there were differences in educational process subscale, in favor of post-graduate students of administration. The results also showed a strong positive correlation between the indicators of strategic planning and university performance.
