N2 - University sustainability is a notion with tremendous transformative potential. Knowledge is essential to understand how colleges communicate it to their students in order to assess their potential for transformation. The objective of this study was to assess the level of training in sustainability and associate it with environmental attitudes towards specific problems of university students in Latinamerican. Through a quantitative, correlational and cross-sectional design, two scales were applied to measure the study variables. The population consisted of 3456 university students from 15 public and private universities in Latinamerican. Using the simple random probability sampling method with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5%, the sample consisted of 383 university students. It was found that there was a highly significant relationship between training in sustainability and the environmental attitude towards specific problems of university students in Latinamerican. Universities not only have an impact on the improvement of the quality of life of the university community, but they should also try to intervene in the spaces under a sustainable approach, understanding that students should be the main actors for environmental care.
